They strained their ears in the silent blackness, smelling the damp, musty air.

Then the silent, peaceful blackness took her.

He seemed to have left the warmth and safety of the ship and to be plunging deep into the silent blackness ahead.

Soft, silent blackness pressed in around him as he fought to resist it, until he lost consciousness.

The cold and silent blackness frightened the horses, and they kept their heads turned away from it.

The chamber returned to the silent blackness of before.

The audible throbbing pervaded all, and heavy scent hung in the silent blackness.

The Shadow looked around as best he could in the silent blackness of the sea.
