The Longest Story in the World - ★★½☆☆

This is barely a story. It's more a frame story for the rest of the book. It's also really weird. Though we are never explicitly told, we can infer we are being told of the Doctor and Susan's days on Gallifrey. But it's a very different take. Space and time travel is nothing but delusions of Susan's, perhaps a glimpse of the future by implied psychic abilities.

The narrator is not reliable, I assume, since the frame story is a girl telling a Caliph "the longest story in the world", so she is not killed. 1001 Nights, obviously. Because of that, this story doesn't actually have and ending. Perhaps there is some payoff by reading the other short trips in the book, but by itself is is uterly bizarre.
