lightlessness

The parrot comes out of the lightlessness, strutting toward me, but he’s the size of a man.

You don’t need a pyranometer to track the depths of our lightlessness, though.

Bioluminescent creatures glow against the black, taking advantage of the deep ocean's lightlessness in their efforts to pursue mates or lure prey.

The lightlessness is feelingly placed where the chief light should be.

In the lightlessness, and above the wailing of the terrified people about them, they could hear the scuff of running feet.
