Another step.
Another shock wave of pain reminding him of his heroic idiocy.
His breathing came in short, wheezing breaths, but it seemed like he could never catch his breath.
He was numb, the only sensation he could feel was pain as he grasped the suitcase handle with all his might.
Another step, another meter, another fraction of a percent of a chance that he wouldn't be found.
He suddenly stopped, holding his breath.
A cough, along with an eruption of blood from his lips as he fell to his knees.
He could feel the trails of blood from his lips freezing as he slowly stood.
He took another step, his feet failing. He fell face down in the snow.
He slowly raised himself with his right arm, his left dangling limply. He started crawling, the tears of pain turning to ice on his cheeks as he crept forward.
The case he still held in his right hand found a patch of ice, causing him to fall in the snow again. He slowly lifted himself back to his knees and one hand as he felt saliva rising from his throat into his mouth.
Pain beyond description as he retched. Another dry heave, then the white in front of his eyes turned to deep red.
Blood dripped from his mouth as he looked at the now frozen puddle of blood on the ground. His arm then refused to continue supporting him.
The numbness began to fade, being replaced with heat. Unbearable heat.
He slowly rolled onto his back, his hand moving from the handle of the case to his belt. He pulled off his trenchcoat, the black dress shirt frozen to his body.
A shaky hand cut the buttons from the dress shirt, the wind blowing it open, displaying his abdomen, bones visible where the ribs had broken through his skin, his entire torso covered with a crust of frozen blood. He pulled off the shirt off his right, then his left arm, his humerus extending out of his skin halfway up his bicep.
He looked up at the sky, ignoring the rhythmic rapid thumping. His vision began to turn dark. He closed his eyes, feeling himself drift away from the frozen hell he was in as the thumping grew louder.
