Hello!
I'd say that the mood of this excerpt is suspenseful.
First of all, the setting is during the night, and this centers around a man by himself on patrol and hearing footsteps drawing near. Passages like this would usually create a feeling of anticipation for what's going to happen next.
Hope I helped! :3
The style of gumption overly for me wear the style of to build a fire is loose and humorous.
The style of gumption is developed through realistic dialogue, will the style of to build a fire is objective
