Frank Miller awoke sometime just after 1 am. He felt his heart racing. He could actually hear it beating. Was that the cause of the music in his dream, he wondered? Was it all just his own chubby body playing tricks on him? He could hear the blood moving in his veins and arteries. It pulsed with every heartbeat and sounded like it was scraping along the insides of the blood vessels. There was almost harmony to it, he thought. His entire living being was making music. His breathing, his heart, the blood: all of them added symphonic resonance to his consciousness and he felt himself attune to his surroundings in a way he had never felt before. He could feel the pores of his body open to the night air, and every hair on his body stood tall in the spiritual electricity that was part of him now. And in the distance, not in his bedroom, from somewhere outside his house, from somewhere in the night, from the forest, he could hear something that sounded familiar. Like singing. It was incredible. It was beautiful. It sounded like his dream. He rose from his bed and started to follow the music.
