It had to be a trick of the light, but the air danced around his body, wavered as if a heat mirage.

It seemed to shimmer like a heat mirage.

At first it resisted her, then gave way like the rippling of a heat mirage.

As she watched, it shimmered and vanished, leaving behind nothing but a disturbance in the air like a heat mirage.

He watched them fiercely until they disappeared in the wavering heat mirage.

The room behind the missing flesh shimmered as if he was seeing it through a heat mirage.

In the darkness, shimmering like a heat mirage, was the city.

It was warmer still, and the air shimmered around them, rather like a heat mirage.

When he breathed, the air seemed to expand around him, shimmering like a heat mirage.

At the horizon it vanished into a heat mirage, a shimmering lake of mercury.
