Catcher in the rye. Jerome D. Salinger, page 152At first it was but a lurid spark upon the stone pavement. Then it lengthened out until it became a yellow line, and then, without any warning or sound, a gash seemed to open and a hand appeared, a white, almost womanly hand, which felt about in the center of the little area of light. For a minute or more the hand, with its writhing fingers, protruded out of the floor. Then it was withdrawn as suddenly as it appeared, and all was dark again save the single lurid spark which marked a chink between the stones.
At first it was a weak spark that flickered in the gap between the floor slabs. Soon this spark turned into a yellow stripe. Then, without any noise, a hole appeared in the floor, and in the very middle of the illuminated space a hand appeared - white, feminine - which seemed to be trying to grope for some object. For a minute, this hand with moving fingers stuck out from the floor. Then she disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared, and everything was plunged into darkness again; only a faint light made its way through a narrow gap between the two slabs.
