Skin was stretched tight over bones and tendons, and the dark eye sockets were deep, fathomless pits in front of solidified brain matter.

And through it all the awful cry came up from that fathomless pit, whose entrance was flooded with spots of fresh blood.

She felt a cold, fathomless pit open within.

Worse, just as she was on the edge of dreams, more and more she would rouse with a gasp from a sense of falling into a fathomless pit.

"Another step, and perhaps we shall fall into some fathomless pit."
