This is an REI co-op studios production.

You never forget the sound of it.

Grunts and cries.

Half words hammered into silence by thunderous collisions.

Your own breath, sucking in and hissing out.

Your own heart pounding.

Your own blood rushing in your ears.

And you can taste the copper of it.

Your blood on the back of your tongue.

But you bite down harder.

And you keep running.

Expecting every step to be your last.

Mone down, blown over.

Hit so hard you'll never remember.

The fear lifts your feet so fast you must be flying.

You hope you're flying.

You're afraid of the earth.

Up ahead, the glimpse of daylight.

You stretch every fiber of yourself toward it.

Just as the world breaks down around you.

Collapsing, colliding, slamming, shut, crushing you.

Crushing you.
