Run - Alex Gregg

Run by Alex Gregg

This is the first tone poem of 2025.

Imagine yourself being the protagonist in a big blockbuster action movie. Like many action movies there is always a scene where the protagonist starts running.

0:04 I. The protagonist tries to escape his enemies that are chasing him. The protagonist had just stolen intelligence that belonged to a ruthless antagonist.

1:01 II. The antagonist in his sinister hideout eagerly waits for his information to be returned.

1:44 III. The protagonist slips away briefly from his foes. Getting a chance to rest, the protagonist understands that the information that he carries cannot go into enemy hands.

2:20 IV. The enemy eventually spots the protagonist and the chase begins again.

2:52 V. The pursuit eventually stops when the protagonist is backed up to the edge of a cliff overlooking an ocean. The enemy starts blocking the protagonist’s escape; all but one. With a leap of faith, the protagonist jumps off the cliff into the deep.

3:15 VI. From the cliff the foes saw no movement from the protagonist. Eventually, the enemy started heading back to their antagonist leader with the good news.

3:27 VII. After what seemed like an eternity the protagonist gets his head above water and starts heading to home base with the intelligence.
