The story's lighting is pitch black. That makes me feel scared and the writer knows how to get to our fear. In your bedroom you have light and that makes us comfortable. When you can't see anything it makes us feel scared. In pitch black you can't see anything. The old man in the bedroom couldn't see anything. When the killer notices he cant see anything it makes it easier for him to kill the old man. Mood And Atmosphere does affect the reader's
