Read this description: "A stormy night wrapped the coast in darkness, and the lighthouse beam swung like a slow, searching finger. Rain slid down the windows in long, shaky lines. The wind pushed at doors and chimneys, as if it wanted to come inside. Lightning flashed, and for one second the waves looked like white teeth. Then the world went dim again, and the next thunderclap felt closer. On the empty street, puddles trembled and street signs squeaked. Inside the diner, spoons clinked too loudly, and everyone kept glancing at the door." Which words or phrases contribute most to the mood?
