I stayed up there for about ten minutes, straining for any sign of light, even the flicker of headlights on a distant road. Then I climbed back down.It's dark, I said, after I leaped to the ground.Um, yeah, Sam said. It's night. How the hell you expected to see anything-- She stopped as she realized what I was really saying. Oh.

In Kelley Armstrong's "The Calling," the narrator describes a tense moment spent in darkness, searching for any hint of light or movement, like headlights from a distant road. After a desperate ten minutes of trying to see through the obscurity, they decide to climb back down, feeling the weight of the situation. This moment reflects their anxiety and the struggle to find clarity in a time of uncertainty.

Once back on the ground, the narrator remarks on the darkness, prompting a response from Sam, who initially misunderstands the narrator's concern. As Sam realizes the deeper implications of the narrator's words, the situation becomes clearer. This exchange highlights the themes of understanding and the challenges of communication in desperate times.
