be in agony

A couple of hours into the night and he was in agony.

The other man couldn't stand to see his friend in such agony.

When he called her the next day, she was still in agony.

He was in agony, trying not to make a sound.

Ever and again he saw his father's face in its final agony.

She lived in agony for days, but he changed his mind without ever saying a thing.

But his back began to pain him, and soon he was in agony almost all the time.

And every day of that you would be in agony.

The only problem seemed to be that he was in agony himself.

Do not turn your back upon us now that we are in our agony.
