Keening

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
