Two days later, a broad crack split the tiles on the next step.

A sharp crack split the air, one we could hear even from the bridge.

Behind him there was a sharp sound, like the breaking of a dry branch, and a fine crack split the rock from top to bottom.

A wide crack split the floor of the chamber, threatening to cut off their escape.

He saw the crack in the wall behind them split.

A thin crack, almost imperceptible, split the flesh on the back of his hand.

Again the world lit up and a loud crack split the night.

Before anyone else could react, a sharp crack split the night.

A crack of lightning split the heavens and struck the hill.
