The story contains situational irony. Situational irony occurs when there is a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. In this case, Sam is looking for a flashlight to see in the dark, but the lack of light makes it difficult to find the flashlight, which is an unexpected and ironic twist.
