Hot dry air burned her throat when she inhaled too quickly.

"It wouldn't surprise me if the air itself were burning."

Suddenly restless, he drew back, as if the very air might burn him.

The cold air burned his lungs, but he couldn't let that stop him.

His power was everywhere, as if the very air stung and burned.

The air is acrid and burns the throat within minutes.

The moving air burned like needles, but it was fresh and clean.

When their fingers clenched against each other, it felt like the air was burning.
