Rowena climbed the spiraling, rickety staircase, holding out her cell phone, and, though there was no network, she was glad she could at least use the light from her phone to guide herself. In the eerie silence, all she could hear was the hooting of owls and the sound of waves striking the jagged rocks. She felt frightened as she moved cautiously up the stairs, not knowing what lay in store for her. The railing was covered with dust, a sure indication that no one had visited the place for some time. As she reached the landing, she tried to look out the window to see if she could see any signs of life. Suddenly, she screamed loudly when something fell on her shoulder. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that it was a bird who had probably become scared of her invading its territory. All of a sudden, her attention was caught by a twinkling light in the distance. Hurriedly, she waved her arm, the light from her phone shining and twinkling. She switched it on and off, again and again, hoping that she was successfully conveying her predicament. The answering blinking light from far away put her mind at ease.
