After what seemed a small eternity, he said with care, "Your argument is unexpectedly logical."

It seemed a small eternity, but was in fact less than three minutes when his body stilled.

It seemed like a small eternity to the men firing.

After what seemed like a small eternity, it stopped.

Finally, after what seemed like a small eternity, they reached the bottom of the stairs.

There was a pause of silence that seemed to stretch for a small eternity.

But finally, after a small eternity he heard a door open down the hall and soon after that a large guard appeared.

I noticed you sitting in the bar, staring at me, for a small eternity.
