The darkness, the cold, the pain began to work on him.

I sat at the table while the darkness began to fill the kitchen.

Within an hour darkness began to settle over the sea.

This much is granted to you, his world told him, and the darkness began to clear.

And at last there came a morning when darkness began to lift.

I see the moon go off watch, and the darkness begin to blanket the river.

The wind rose to a scream once more, and darkness began to fall.

Only now did the darkness in the shop begin to soften.

Off on the southern horizon, another darkness began to take shape.

Wind changes and the darkness begins to be driven back.
