Question

Read the following excerpt from "Death By Scrabble" by Charlie Fish.




The heat of the sun is pushing at me through the window. I can hear buzzing insects outside. I hope they're not bees. My cousin Harold swallowed a bee when he was nine, his throat swelled up and he died. I hope that if they are bees, they fly into my wife's throat.



Which is most likely the mood created by the narrator in this excerpt?
