All of a sudden, Max was abruptly jarred from his thoughts by a sound so loud that it left his mind reeling. He winced in agony as the rhythmic booming continued, leaving his consciousness scattered and panicked with confusion. Whirling around the face his audiological assailant, the tiny man saw his worst fears realized. Sure enough, the scientist was home, and she was headed in his direction! Julie's gigantic footfalls had been the source of the noise, which explained the thunderous quality they carried in their wake. Out of pure instinct he began to run for cover, diving behind the leg of the couch he'd been standing by.
Max's fight or flight had served him well, since in just a few seconds of awe-inspiring covered ground, as Julie quickly reached the couch. Her strides alone baffled him in their agile shadow. The man gazed upward at her titanic splendor, nearly falling back against the couch leg in shock. But the giantess had been doing some stumbling of her own; nearly tripping over the jungle of a rug Max had just exited. Her enormous foot slammed down in the very spot he'd been standing just a moment before. All he could do was breathe and gawk. This just couldn't be real. It didn't add up. All of life's rules as Max knew them had been changed.
As the tiny man tried to soak in this bizarre experience, the sound of music drowned out his reveling in its bursting intensity. He recognized the song-- it was a Pink Floyd number for sure, but he couldn't remember the name. He turned to observe where Julie had ended up, finding her kicking off her shoes with her back to a stereo. So that was where the music was coming from, he deduced. Max continued to follow her with his eyes as she disappeared into what looked to be a bathroom across the living room. Even though this was an impossible reality to come to terms with, disbelief would solve nothing. He would have to act in order to survive.
