Beyond it, the waters of what he'd now ceased to think of as the Lake.

If the water ceased to flow, the assignment was over.

The sun had gone down behind the hills, and the water had ceased to glitter.

Could it be that as I say this the water ceases to rise?

This let him rest his arms, which had grown almost unbearably tired as the receding water ceased to support the weight of the children.

By the time they reached the shore, the water had ceased, and they were breathing normally.

However, as dewatering continued, they noticed and confirmed the water had ceased to rise.

The water ceased to emerge as the trough was filled.

As the water ceased to boil, his heart sank into despair.
