Couldn't she understand what it did to him inside to hear the way her voice rasped?

The man tried to speak, but his voice was rasping.

It hurt to hear the way his voice rasped with pain.

Behind her, a voice rasped like rock being ground to dust.

"We've got to get these people out of here right now," he said, his voice rasping.

"Had your work for nothing," rasped the voice from the shadow.

"Let go of my hands," he said, then blinked at the way his voice rasped.

The voice of the other man rasped with brief laughter.

A few moments later, a voice suddenly rasped from the wall next to my elbow.

"May God give her peace," he said, his voice rasping.
