A LEAP TO THE LEFT
by Bill Brennan


The following is based on the television series "Quantum Leap". Those of you who like the series should like this-Im gonna try to stay true to both the main character (Sam Beckett) as well as an honest description of what the Rpcky Horror scene was like at the 8Th Street Playhouse back in Rocky Horror's prime...and if you arent familier with Quantum Leap, you will still have some fun. Here we go...

CREATING A THEORY THAT SAID THAT TIME TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE WITHIN ONES OWN LIFE-TIME, DR. SAM BACKET STEPPED INTO THE QUANTUM LEAP ACCELORATOR..AND VANISHED.

DR. BECKET AWOKE TO FIND HIMSELF TRAPPED IN OTHER PEOPLES BODIES, FACING MIRROR IMAGES THAT WERENT HIS ONE.HIS ONLY COMPANION ON THESE JOURNEYS IS THE PROJECT OBSERVER AND FRIEND, AL CAMARICCI. DR. BECKET NOW FINDS HIMSELF LEAPING FROM LIFE TO LIFE, PUTTING RIGHT WHAT ONCE WENT WRONG, AND HOPING THAT THE NEXT LEAP...WILL BE THE LEAP HOME.

Sam felt the odd sensation of "leaping." His body was surrounded by temporal illumination, there was a slight feeling of nausea and weighlessness, and movement without moving...there was a short second of "no time" that Sam could never account for, and he knew that when he opened his eyes he would find himself in the body of another person, in another time...

But he wasnt prepaired for this! It was like waking up from a deep sleep to find yourself in a small room filled with people and loud music and a raging party! He was suddenly assaulted in all senses: bright lights filled his eyes, a blaring voice filled his ears. He found himself leaning foweard and he looked down-he was wearinf heeled boots, one with what looked like a white spat with a trickle of blood on it.

He caught himself and looked around-there were rows and rows of people sitrting in seats,all facing him..he was in a movie theater. But..what kind of movie theater?!? All the people were in strange costumes, facial make up, half naked, in leather and men dressed like woman, and they were drinking beer and sniffing something from small vials into nostrils, and that smell...was that...was that marajuana?

"Okay, here we go," said a man with black hair to Sam. The man held a microphone, and he wore a blck cape with faces painted on it, and he stood next to sam as he raised the micrphone to his mouth and said,

"OKAY, LETS CLEAR THE AISLES BECAUSE...ITS TIME WARP TIME!!!! "Good luck," said the man and he walked off stage/ The spotlight hit Sam., and everyone was watching him...and Sam suddenly relised that HE was supposed to sing or dance or do something!

"Oh, boy," Sam said.
