In the long winter nights, small surceases of laughter kept the family going.

As the clock strikes midnight, the cheering slowly surceases and the auditorium falls silent.

After months of turmoil, the villagers prayed for a surcease of the storms.

The protests did not surcease until a new policy was announced.

The thunder, surceasing at last, left the countryside bathed in an uneasy calm.

When the final bell rang, the classroom activity surceased and students began packing their bags.

After years of clamor and conflict, the weary villagers welcomed the surceasance of cannon fire and the fragile peace that followed.
