Zach sighed heavily as Don's body hit the floor. It left a large imprint in the snow, as his lifeless eyes were rapidly covered by the blizzard and its cruelty.
He heard a voice erupt in his headset instantly pulling him back to reality.
"You okay, Perseus?"
Zach took a moment to get his thoughts straight. Staring past the dead whose cold bodies were already in the process of being reclaimed by nature.
Instead, he gazed into the snow, the fog, the mist, and the world around him. Covered in layers of frost that would take weeks to thaw, assuming if the world suddenly returned to normal tomorrow. But tomorrow would be even colder… he knew it in his bones.
In that moment, Zach found himself settling into an odd state of clarity as he sighed and shook his head before heading back to his snowmobile once more. Clicking the PTT button on his shoulder as he mounted the vehicle's seat.
