Summary:The TARDIS takes a peek into the future, and doesn't like what she sees one bit. Spoilers for the end of "Forest of the Dead", slight references to Torchwood characters.

This was nominated in the Smith Awards, so I read it.

I didn't like this. It didn't feel like the TARDIS at all. First, the "voice" didn't make sense; oh, sure, it was sort of explained later, but I'd already been thrown out of the story. Second, I don't think the TARDIS would be so spiteful. I think it was supposed to be funny, but I didn't find it so. The bit with the Sixth Doctor and Peri was okay, though.
