The school hallway carried the smell of wax, varnish, and cleaning supplies. Bright,yellow light glared into the hall through the freshly cleaned windows. This highlighted the deep scrapes in the lockers, the chips in the wall tiles, and the spider webs hanging in the corner.

"The Monkey Paw" by W. W. Jacobs
Neither spoke, but lay silently listening to the ticking of the clock. A stair creaked, and a squeaky mouse scurried noisily through the wall. The darkness was oppressive, and after lying for some time gathering up courage, he took the box of matches, and striking one, went downstairs  for a candle.
At the foot of the stairs the match went out, and he paused to strike another; and at the same moment a knock so quiet and stealthy as to be scarcely audible, sounded on the front door.
The matches fell from his hand. He stood motionless, his breath suspended.......
Choose the phrase from the passage that appeals to your sense of sight.

• "squeaky mouse scurried noisily"
• "At the foot of the stairs, the match went out,"
