The answer is: rhetorical question.
Rhetorical questions are questions which do not expect an answer. They may not have an answer or it might be too apparent. As a consequence, the speaker intends to make a point and make the audience reflect on something. In the excerpt, the author is determined to cause readers to contemplate on the limitations and the meaning of enlightenment.
I think you should say “she accepted her invitation” instead of request. Maybe a little more background story? Unless you’re gonna make it into like a detective story where the short story makes a bigger picture. Maybe instead of her getting lost so soon, she meets up a friend, they both get lost, eventually meet the clown. You did great I like it so far, but its the little details that add that pizzaz. Ex: At that moment Samantha had realized her mistake, as she spent the time trick or treating the sky grew dark and ominous, a feeling like she had never felt before, true fear.

The phrases 'he wrestled with all his power', 'he struck out with strong strokes', 'struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out' substantiate the above claim.
