The shadows lurched and jumped.

Mammoth shadows lurched across North Avenue as if thrown by an army of giants marching through the street one block to the east.

The torch was lying on the ground and pointing towards it, and a vast, grotesque shadow was slowly lurching through the light towards her.

The shadow lurched forward.

A shadow lurched into sight there, grew darker and more definite.

A monstrous shadow lurched on the stairs two floors below.

Abruptly, the shadows in the room lurched.

The shadow lurched with the current, groaning with a sound more wooden than metallic, then slid off the bar and down into the waters.
