Which word best describes the mood of this passage?
Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass
by Frederick Douglass (excerpt)

I was quite a child, but I well remember it. I never shall forget it whilst I remember any thing. It was the first of a long series of such outrages, of which I was doomed to be a witness and a participant. It struck me with awful force.
