At the end of each loop the avian emitted a single long shriek.
There was no time for Snuffy to utter a single shriek.
Nest heard a single, horrifying shriek, and then silence.
A single shriek of wordless anger stabbed through the forest.
With a single shriek the man lunged from his donkey.
The wind had reached a single high shriek.
And then he heard from behind him one dreadful single shriek.
The metal gave a single shriek and yielded.
The night cracked open with a single loud shriek.
Far across the fen sounded a single shriek of terrible laughter.
