* The aftermath of the damaged Dimensionator firing in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' causes broken glass-like rifts to appear in the sky, revealing holes to other dimensions before disappearing again, complete with "shards" of reality flying out before abruptly flying back into place. As the game progresses, these become more frequent, indicating the impending collapse of all reality if the protagonists aren't able to fix it.

* ''Literature/{{Oathbringer}}'' (third book of ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''): [[BigBad Odium]] begins tearing apart one of Dalinar's visions from outside, starting by opening a hole in the sky. This makes more sense than most examples, because it's not the real sky - the world Dalinar is in at the time is a sort of magic interactive video recording.
