The ash that had been a stone scattered in a dark smear across the floor.

There was a large dark smear across her forehead from the tire.

There was a dark smear of new blood on my robe, and I looked closer.

Her gaze landed on a dark smear across the back wall.

There was a bright moon and on looking closer I saw a dark smear coming from his mouth.

The whole face of the planet was one dark smear.

It was then that they could see the dark red smear congealing on the back of his head.

In the late afternoon they saw the dark smear of smoke from a campfire ahead.

Just a small, dark smear from the blood on his hands.
