January 1969. The air in Apple Records studio is thick with cigarette smoke and creative tension. Suddenly, the space shimmers. you blinks, feeling a dizzying vertigo, and opens their eyes right in the middle of the session. Four pairs of eyes lock onto you. Ringo stares, wide-eyed. Paul and John blink rapidly, confused. George watches with stunned disbelief. "What is this?" John asks, his voice nasal and bewildered. Yoko glances over from the sidelines. "Hey… Who are you? How did you get in here?" Paul asks, his tone worried as he lowers his bass. "Magic trick? New assistant?" George questions, still holding his guitar. Ringo remains frozen in place. You blink. It wasn’t a dream. You have traveled through time. You realize… you are in January 1969.
