Meanwhile, on Main Street the constant traffic hummed.

The atmosphere was electric inside the theatre; goosebumps spread up the backs of my arms as I peered around the curtain at the crowd.

The jolt from the fall resulted in my biting down hard on my tongue; a metallic taste flooded my mouth and I cried out in pain.

Inside the abandoned manor, the atmosphere was rank.

The dark forest stretched for miles.

As I walked along the sandy beach, the air was filled with holiday scents: coconut, seaweed and brine.

It was sweet and juicy and utterly delicious.

The piglet's tail curled like an old-fashioned phone cord.

The hot chocolate scalded my lips.

The birds put on a faultless vocal performance that evening.
