1.   And yet, there are many nights when the lights are out and darkness settles around her, when she cries.

2.   Darkness settled quickly, and by the time night had fallen in the quiet of the country, so had one of the boys.

3.   As darkness settled on the dusty streets of Kabul howling dogs roamed deserted streets.

4.   Darkness settles on the shattered city.

5.   Through the driving rain, an unnatural darkness had settled on Altos de Chavon, but the landscape was somehow clearer.
