Screel

The screams began as the usual long screel.

Someone had got hold of a bullhorn and was bellowing out instructions that, thanks to screels of feedback, were utterly incomprehensible.

As for the Minimoog itself, it proved capable of creating whole new registers of possibility: a viscid bass that stirs the entrails, a tonal warmth that solicits well-being, a cringing static that conjures animal fear, a piercing screel that commands almost spiritual submission.

Katherine steps into the train and the sides hiss closed. Candlewax waves as it screels its way out of the station.

The creature screels, a spine-chilling sound so intense the two unbroken windows at the far left corner of the room shatter, spraying chunks and slivers of glass everywhere.

The bagpipe suddenly screeled in a peculiar off-beat, sending chills down Neil's spine.
