1.   A welcoming fire flickered in the grate.

2.   Little orange fires flickered, and gray shapes moved among the dull-green helicopters in the morning haze.

3.   A weak fire flickered in the hearth.

4.   But that competitive fire gradually flickered into extinction.

5.   Cooking fires flicker in the grassy median strip.

6.   Small fires flickered in the distance.

7.   The fire flickered low and I kept looking at your hat, looking at it and the North Star and those clouds rushing by.

8.   In some towns, fires flicker outside almost every doorway.
