The light of the golden eyes faded, the darkness returned.

Then he was gone and darkness returned as the door slammed shut.

Behind them the lights faded, died away, and darkness returned.

Soon the darkness was returning, this time because of the bulb shortage.

The surveillance camera instantly shut off as the darkness returned.

When he tried to find words, the darkness returned.

As the torches were taken out of the car, darkness was returning.

Weight and darkness returned so suddenly she could hardly breathe.

Then darkness returned, followed at last by the sallow light of true dawn.
