Darkness blanketed my mind before I hit.

Darkness had blanketed the spot where he stood, for the flames had suddenly exhausted after their last surge.

Darkness now blanketed the town, but bright light from lanterns and candles filtered through the open doorways of the dilapidated structures and through the fabric of the canvas tents, making them glow like golden balloons.

Darkness blanketed him.

Darkness blanketed the distant spot from which the red flare had appeared.

Darkness now blanketed the outpost and the surrounding desert like a veil of death.

Darkness blanketed them.

Darkness blanketed the study.
