I dreamed of the swarm again. It traveled up and away in
elongated spirals, trillions of entities buzzing in formation,
creating a blacker than black tunnel against the moonlit sky.
"It'll be okay," my best friend said. "They're just
making sure that it'll work the same way when they do it on
camera." We were outside. The ground was covered in snow. **Were
they filming a horror movie?**
Suddenly I was in my room, laying on my back on the far
edge of my bed, as I had been concurrently in the waking realm.
Something was wrong. I moved my eyes sluggishly to the right and
again I see the swarm spiralling into the night sky outside my
window. Shadows of the thing consumed my world for a brief moment
before moonlight peeled the blackness away from the corner of the
window to the opposite end of the frame, once again revealling
the full rectangle of illumination.
Dread filled my heart. I heard my best friend's voice in
my head.**Speilberg wanted it this way. He wanted a sound effect
too.** I heard a quiet hum, an orchestra of chellos and violins
playing tremolos of dissonent notes, a cocophny of sound that
grew steadily in volume and pitch until the noise filled my
consciousness.
I watched the swarm drift out of the top of my window but
my eyes followed the blackness behind my wall. I watched the
projection travel up and across my cieling as I heard the sound,
which was now growing exponentially louder and more encompassing, a
vast spectrum of frequencies that filled my brain and my heart and my
lungs. In my mind I winced and covered my ears.
Then it was over.
