Sam was wheeled up to the table and sat on the other side of the table was his father.

"how can you be here?"

His father replied saying

"what do you mean? The doctors told us what happened to you son how are you feeling?"

Sam looked at his father in aw and says

"you are surpose to be dead?"

"well clearly I am not Sam"

The nuce says "do you recognise him."

Sam yes "yes I do"

Sam gets up and hugs his dad

His dad says "its OK son you had a dream and am real as am alive and not dead everything is going to be OK."

Sam says "you dead I was at your funeral" he sits back down in the wheel chair.

"I want to believe you are real"

Sam's dad leans forward and says

"I am"

"Sam reach out with your hand Sam I am real."

Sam touchs his dad's hand and he had to admit his hand did real real.

"see I am real fresh and blood just like you"

"no you can't be real I know what real is but real or not its so good to see you."

"get him out of here get him out of here."

"Sam don't do this you must remember our life together on the farm"

"I do but you can't be real"

"this is a lie it has to be a lie Al! Al! Why am I here!"

Medical staff bust into the room and puts Sam back in the wheelchair and take him out of the room with him shouting.

The staff says to his dad

"am sorry you had to witness that"

Some time after this Sam is in front of yet another doctor.

And the doctor says and starts to record the conversation and says

"so you didn't handle seeing your dad really well which is a big shame really a really big shame."

"he's not real"

"can you proof that dr beckett?"

"no not yet"

"well we have something that might help in this case."

"what's that?"

"can we have the lights down please"

The lights go down

And the doctor shows Sam pictures of Sam's family on the farm.

"here Sam here's one picture of your brother and sister."

And a few more photos are shown to sam

Of his mum and dad.

"do you recognise any of these pictures?"

"no"

"but Sam here's you right in this picture standing next to your dad."

"I don't remember sorry"

"Sam here's one on your graduation day with you and your colleagues passing medical school."

Sam starts laughing

"what so funny?"

"Al never graduated from medical school he graduated MIT."

"really" looking with unbelieving eyes the doctor crosses his arms together.

"let me ask you what's the most early isn't memory you have what do you remember?"

"I remember growing up on the farm. Doing chores around the house and farm."

"good, good please go on"

"going to high school graduation from school and college."

"how do you know that this didn't take place here in this reality Sam we could both drive up to Indianaa and visit your farm if you really want too."

"would you like that Sam?"

"I just know it's a lie I can't explain it it just is."

"I see"

The doctor shows another picture to Sam

And he looks down in complete surprise

The picture was of Donna Sam wife with four children.

Sam this is a picture of your family do you remember any of this.

"this didn't happen yes I was married to her but we never had children."

"why is that Sam?"

"because I was lost in time."

"lost in time I see."

"what's three names Sam? What's your kids names?"

"I don't have a clue I didn't have children."

"take this picture away please it's too much."

"Sam I know you are eager to leave this hospital but I think you should stay here longer at St Albans just for a few nights until you feel better OK. You are quite safe here."

The clock tricks in the background

And the doctor stops the tape.

The nuce wheels Sam and says

" we have organised a room for you on C wing it might not be the best but it will do for you. "

" Sam?, Sam? "

" why is this happening? "

" am sorry?"

"the reason why I haven't tried to escape more than once is because I find it hard to say but this may be the real world."

"of course it is Sam"

"but again it may be a trick of some kind."

"its not a trick how many times do we have to tell you. All we want to do is help you get better so you can be with your family again and continue with the project."

Sam laughs "yes of course the project."

"to be honest the main thing that's keeping you here Sam is I think you really want to know what's real from fantasy and let go of this fantasy that you are a time traveller leaping from one time zone to another."

"here we are"

The nurce wheels Sam into his new room on C wing.

And says "you have your own bathroom, bed and radio so you can listen to anything you want OK."

Sam gets out of the chair and says thank you and sits on the bed the nice bids him good night and locks the door behind Sam and says.

"I will see you tomorrow."

"OK good night"

Feeling like I was in a bad dream this dream was starting to feel like a nightmare a impossible nightmare it seems I couldn't leap out of it no matter how hard I could try.

I turned the TV on in my room but the TV screen started to flicker and all I could see was white sound suddenly a image started to show on the screen it was al. Al was standing in the imaging chamber and he taps into the hand link saying to himself

"Sam lock onto me buddy."

"lock on"

Sam says "how can the project be on TV?"

"Al am here Al here"

Gooshie says to Al we have a lock

And Al appears in front of Sam saying

"I've got him!"

Tapping into the hand link

The project disappears from on the TV and white sound is left again.

Looking relieved al says

"we thought we would never find you?"

"Al is it really you?"

"of course"

Sam walks towards Al and puts his hands through al like a hologram.

"is it you. Tell me what project did we both work on together? This place feels like a trick to me. "

"project quantum leap"

"do you know where I am Al"

"Al taps on his hand link and says
We've got problems sam ziggy says we don't know where you are it seems like you are in no place in no time. And how we where able to connect to you in the first place is still a mystery to us Sam."

"Al that can't be right."

Al trys again this time hitting the hand link harder. "Ziggy says its still 1965 and that's all we have. She is drawing a brank. Sam"

"but to me it looks like your in a hospital of some kind."

"that's right theres a Dr here that looks just like you and they tell me it's St Albans hospital 1999 in New Mexico. Not 1965."

Al listens in deep thought "but that's impossible " Al taps into the hand link and says there's on such place as St Albans hospital in New Mexico. "

" so what is this place? "

Al taps into the hand link more and says

" OK Sam according to ziggy where do you think you are Sam? "

" St Albans hospital in New Mexico. "

" OK" Al taps it into the hand link

And looks in disbelief as he reads the information from the hand link that is starting to be displayed in front of Al.

"OK Sam listen to me carefully I can help you get out of here Sam but you have to trust me Sam do you trust me."

"of course"

"ziggy says to be free of this place there is a 98.4 per cent chance you have to burn this hospital to the ground.

" oh boy! "

The next morning Sam sees a another doctor but he looks just like the butler from 1965.

"i know you don't I?"

"do you I don't think we have been introduced"

"yes your the butler I met in 1965"

"1965"

"i don't think so I have been a doctor all my adult life you are clearly confusing me with someone else."

"don't you remember? Please try"

The doctor is lost in deep throught and for a moment he says

"actually I do remember a house in England."

"that's right continue"

"no, no that can't be"

And for a moment his clothes change from doctors clothes into butler clothes and it flickers back again.

Sam says "what's going on? This isn't real is it?"

The doctor starts to remember another lifetime. But shanks it of

He looks at his watch and says

"is that the time I need to get going."

"wait please don't go"

The doctor leaves Sam getting back to his job.

Al reappears to Sam and says

"remember Sam this place Isent real do you remember other moments in your life or in your dreams when you felt like you were going to die or close to die?"

"yeah sure."

"so there's no reason to be afraid to die this world is just a dream Dr becks thinks your mind may have created this world Sam."

"but why would I create a world where I would convince me that the real world is the dream world and this dream world is the real world?"

"maybe Sam simply to just keep you safe."

"I see"

"to break this house of cards Sam you have to break the house and let it fall."

"so where I am I in the real world."

Al taps the hand link

"your unconscious right now and ziggy says there is a 65.4 per cent chance the longer you remain here in the dream world the more danger your in right now of never being able to wake up again in the real world. So Sam you need to wake up before it's too late."

"so Al I have to choose this world or the reality of me travelling through time."

"yes Sam but Sam if you choose this reality ziggy says there is a 94 per cent chance that we won't be able to contact you ever again."

"I need your help Al more than ever."

"Al says I will help you as much as I can bubby. But it's up to you."

"but this world seems so real how do I know which reality is real."

"well Sam maybe the real question is which world would you like to return to."

"OK if I destroy the hospital how do I go about doing that I am lock inside this room?"

Al taps into the hand link

"OK Sam I'll go back and work out something with ziggy."

The imaging chamber door opens and al steps inside and al disappears as quickly as he had appeared.
