As I hammered the nail into the wall, the wall...

Hi

Could you please tell me how to avoid the repetition of the words wall and nail? Also, which sentence sounds best to your native ears?

  1. As I hammered the nail into the wall, the wall started to shatter (around the nail).
  2. As I hammered the nail into the wall, the wall started to disintegrate (around the nail).
  3. As I hammered the nail into the wall, the wall started to crack (around the nail).

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom how to avoid the repetition of the words As I hammered the nail into it, the wall started to crack. I think it's safe to assume the reader will infer that the crack appeared where the nail went in.
