It began to seem that the commands had come from a particular place.

Then came a command, not given in words, nor by some light touch against her arm and shoulder.

The command came from the rear door of the hotel.

The command came out of the darkness beyond our circle.

My mother's command came for the third time and I held.

The command had come from directly behind him, but he was alone in the room.

He was up and moving even as the command came.
