| Her shadow flickered across the wall behind her, tail lashing in disquiet, inhuman muscles shifting as she moved. |
| The tableau froze, motionless, and the flame of the memorial flickered out, and the stage became dark. |
| And the stars that were splashed across the sky flickered like candle flames. |
| Slowly people left, and just as slowly the park darkened and the quaint round lanterns set around the circle flickered into life. |
| Story telling and shadows have been around since the time of the cave people, when their fires flickered as they told stories in to the night. |
| As her eyes flickered shut she saw the sun bursting through the trees in marvelous streams of gold, deep rose, and lavender. |
