After sixteen hours of mortal agony he would be dead.

Suddenly, from up the mountain there came another rifle shot, and then a scream of mortal agony.

He done his best to sound like a man in mortal agony.

Screams, from the throats of men, women and children in mortal agony.

Later I thought of that mortal agony many times.

The bull squealed again, but this time in mortal agony.

I heard the cries of desperate men in their mortal agony.

As if to echo the shouts came a woman's scream of mortal agony.

Blood drained from his face as the scream came again, a horse in mortal agony.

It was the scream of a human being in mortal agony.
