As if the earth had opened and swallowed them.

She wished the earth would open up and swallow her.

The earth can't have swallowed her, and she'll be glad to hear you say it.

He was gone so fast that it seemed as if the earth must have swallowed him up.

It was as if the earth had swallowed the lot of them.

It is almost as if the earth had opened and swallowed him.

Suddenly it appeared as if the earth underneath the complex opened and swallowed the entire site.

He escaped just before the earth opened and swallowed his car.

If only the earth would open up and swallow her whole!

But more than anything she needs love The earth can't have swallowed her.
