To everyone who was there that night, the next several seconds seemed to last a lifetime.

Long seconds passed, as the entire planet itself seemed to hold its breath.

The next thirty seconds seemed to last into the following month.

Ten seconds seemed half a year until they were suddenly weightless.

Every few seconds it seemed to get twice as big.

She eased for just seconds, then seemed to fly ever higher.

The passing seconds seemed like hours as he looked down at the child.

The last 10 seconds seemed to take hours to play.

It was so dark; the seconds seemed to be rushing past.

The next few seconds seemed to happen in slow motion.
