This big bird needed to be in black space, not blue sky.
But, like the black space between stars, it is difficult to measure.
Nothing of the black space beyond could be seen through the fabric, and it was smooth.
At first, his face was nothing but black, blank space, and then gradually it became clear.
To her right there seemed to be nothing but black space.
He seemed to be focused on the black space beyond the candlelight.
You can stare right out through into a great black empty space: big, bigger than anything could be.
Her smile was a bright thing in the black space around them.
There was now a black space where the stone had been.
They were through the hole in an instant, and black space ahead.
