Miller dreamed that Beethoven felt incomplete and miserable when he reflected on his life’s work. Hence, Miller offered the artist some words of wisdom. He shared,
“I told him he’s doing great, I asked how many symphonies [he’d done], and I told him to keep making more. Then there were these sorts of zombie creatures, made of a clay-like substance, so we had to run away and survive the zombie apocalypse together. There was more.”
