The Illusion And Determination?

As he continued to look at the body, his curiosity got the best of him and he decided to check to see if his theory had indeed been correct. 

Rather impatiently, the man quickly made his way to the body. 

'Second thoughts...? Am I really, having second thoughts? There was no way my analysis was incorrect.' he thought to himself 

When he finally reached the body, Ignoring the blood, he quickly dug his hands deep into the cold, chilling snow, shoving it aside with haste. 

He was desperate, anyone could tell from the confused look in his face. Without showing any signs of slowing down, he continued to shove away the snow with his hands, forming a small crater on the ground, right next to the leader's body. 

Blood got on his hands, but he ignored it, and after a small crater had been formed in between the cold, reddened snow. His eyes widened. There was nothing there. Nothing.
