Imagination gave it a sinister aura that was felt even when turned away. Captain Rush and his Second stood in the lookout staring and trying to think of something to do.
Pirates! (pt 4) Waiting on the Edge
The uncertainty combined with the endless monotony of waiting was driving her crazy. She got up, picked her way quietly through the crowded room, and cracked the door open.
