Form melted into mist, mist eddied into white and estranging dark.

The mist swirled and eddied and glowed faintly from within.

A mist of fine snowflakes was curling and eddying about the cluster of low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky.

The voice rolled through Simon's mind, mournful yet angry, powerful and cold as ice that cracked and split stone- The mist swirled and eddied.

The mist eddied and cleared slightly, enough to give him an even more terrible view.

Then the mist eddied again, and the ice holding Maddie immobile seemed to spread, splintering through her soul.

The mist eddied around their feet.

For a long time there was only silence, and Orlando feared she had dropped back into slumber, but the mists eddied a little and he saw that her dark eyes were still open, still staring at something unseeable.

And along its entire length the mists curled and eddied like vapor over a lake or PSYCHOSPHERE moat of milk.

The mists eddied this way and that.
