Read this passage: The abandoned lighthouse stood silently on Split Rock Point, its weathered windows dark and its whitewashed paint flaking off in large scales. Seagulls nested where lighthouse keepers once kept watch through long winter storms. Each evening, local fishermen glanced toward the cliffs out of habit, half-expecting a beacon that no longer guided their return. How does the setting contribute to the overall mood of the passage?
