A chill breeze swept over the lip of the deck; Pallis-despite his flying experience-found his stomach tightening at the thought of approaching that endless drop.

Abruptly the stone under his feet seemed as thin as paper, and the endless drop over the edge pulled at him.

The subconscious fears the endless drop towards the bottom of the Universe.

At each repetition of the sound a slimy dew exuded from the monstrous pores and rilled sluggishly down in endless drops.

He was hovering over the brink of an endless drop.

Smoothly polished by the endless drops of water that made them, they shone softly in the dim light.

He said his body shook at times from the shock of what seemed to be an endless drop.

Now Spindletop was pointing down toward Earth, and he was facing an endless drop to the sunlit hemisphere beneath.

He looked down at the endless drop, and then looked at Silence, unmoved.

Severed from it, his mental self fell and fell, an endless tumbling drop through the dark.
