The sniper slowly turned over the dead body of his brother and looked into his face. Rapidly‚ he shook his hand away and looked deeply at the face of his brother with unblinking eyes. His heart raced twice as fast‚ his head pulsated‚ and his body was trembling with fear. Slowly‚ he struggled to manage to even sit up straight. He closed his eyes and had listened to the dim roaring of weaponry in the distance around him. Vibrant images of his perfect shot crashed through his head over and over again
