Outtakes
“Down there,” Agnes said. “It’s an old swinging door somebody nailed shut, but it looks like the nails rusted or something and when he hit it . . .” She raised her eyebrows. “Whoosh.”
“’Whoosh’.” Xavier edged the door open and shone his light down on the skinny good ole boy with the twisted neck and bloody face and glassy eyes. “’Out of the dark we came, into the dark we go’.”

Almost time for a new daily planner! I was flipping through this year's planner, making sure there was nothing written on past pages that I needed to keep - I've got a bad habit of scratching down new passwords on random pages - when I found a sentence written on March 5, and wondered why the heck I'd write it.
Ah, yes....now I remember.
From "The Law of Nines" by Terry Goodkind
"As he scrambled to his feet, fire ascended his white coat with a whoosh."
That reminds me, there was a "whoosh" in the book I most recently read:
From "Boy's Life" by Robert R. McCammon
page 121: (describing a boy riding too fast, and losing control of his new bike) "I didn't have much time to ponder it. In the next second, I crashed into a hedge in somebody's yard and my breath left me in a whoosh and the green leaves took me down."
