I'll watch him walk toward me, his shoulders slightly stooped, his head cocked to the side, and he'll pass within a few yards of me and suddenly smile at some secret thought and then continue up the trail to where it bends back into the fog.

In this excerpt from "Ambush", by Tim O'Brien, the word that best helps establish the tone is C. fog. In this excerpt, the author recounts his experience when he saw the young soldier coming out of the morning fog with an ammunition belt. Without thinking, O'Brien pulled the key of the grenade, and the soldier was killed by it. Twenty years from that moment he still thinks of it and imagines the soldier passing by.
