\\\"The heat scorched the countryside\\\"

\\\"my eyebrows singed when I bent over the flames\\\"

\\\"The wildfire scorched the forest and several homes\\\"
\\\"the invaders scorched the land\\\"

\\\"The cook blackened the chicken breast\\\"
\\\"The fire charred the ceiling above the mantelpiece\\\"
\\\"the flames scorched the ceiling\\\"

\\\"The exposed tree scorched in the hot sun\\\"
