Despite the peace of the early night, lightning was flickering about the horizon.
The lightning flickered still, far off among the mountains in the South.
Beyond them, lightning flickered against a mass of black clouds.
Lightning flickered every few minutes, and the thunder followed within a matter of seconds.
To the west, lightning flickered between the low clouds and high peaks.
Lightning flickered, massive bolts, some long enough to go round the Earth.
But when the first lightning flickered across the sky they decided the situation called for prudence.
From somewhere, lightning flickered, touched the image, passed through it.
Soundless lightning flickered against the sky far to the west.
Lightning flickered about him, but whether it helped or hurt him he couldn't say.
