Was that the death breathing its cold breath down his neck even now?

At first it was just a cold breath of air out of the east.

It was like a cold breath on the back of her neck.

Now it seemed to gather itself and pour down upon them in a great, cold breath.

He felt the shadow sift down through the house like a cold breath.

He could feel the chill coming up the stairs, a cold breath from deep within the earth.

A cold breath seemed then to blow through the hall.

I could feel its cold breath on my neck.

Again he'd felt a cold breath stirring at the back of his neck.

I feel cold breath blowing down the back of my neck.
