Picard stared at the four dark apparitions before him.

The guy didn't hear or see his executioner until this dark apparition confronted him.

He was almost a silhouette against the flames, a dark apparition except at the edges, where orange light burnished his smooth skin.

Mephisto stood behind him, silent and watching, like a dark apparition.

For a moment Shea hesitated in awe of the huge, dark apparition across the room.

Her eyes widened when she beheld the dark apparition looming in her doorway.

Jim looked down the watercourse, the way the dark apparition had gone, and for the first time in days, actually felt relieved.

Kimberly was so stunned by the dark apparition that for a timeless moment she couldn't even scream.

Then, suddenly, she saw another dark apparition appear silently out of the darkness, another ship.

He came toward me, a blurred figure looming like a dark apparition.
