A torch flickered somewhere in the distance, but elsewhere all was dark.

A torch would flicker under the trees, nothing more.

Torches flickered at the Inn door and on the side of the shed.

The torches flickered as the renegade raised high his own staff.

The torch he had thrown away was flickering faster, weakly, on and off.

The torch flickered in the breeze rising through the stairwell.

The single torch flickered in seeming mockery at his attempt.

The improvised torch flickered and smoked, but it cast light of a sort.
