The only other thing I remembered was that a tight wire which had been stretched between my temples, holding them together, suddenly parted with a twang.

The wind tugged at him, the wires parted.

Wood splintered and flew, wire parted with sharp twangs, the thick glass of the windshield cracked clean across but did not shatter inward.

He swung again and again and finally the wire parted.

The wire parted with a twang.

If the wire parted uncontrollably, they would both fall backwards as the mine above them sprung free and the weight came off the lower section.

In agonizing slowness, circuits grew warm, then solder cracked and wires parted.

If the serrated wire parted the mine mooring cable, the mine would bob to the surface to be destroyed by gunfire.

He put the car in gear the wires parted with a shower of sparks, cutting off both telephone and power to the house.

The wire parted.
