Which example of imagery best sets an ominous mood?

• On the last night of the revival the sky took on a strange yellowish cast. The air felt close, suffocating, and no wind stirred.

• Cautiously, I climbed from the bed, careful not to awaken Big Ma, who was still snoring soundly, and crept to the door.

• But then he coughed and blood spurted from his mouth; his eyes glazed, and his face paled, and I knew that this time T.J. was not faking.

• And we laughed, whooping joyously into the thundering night, forgetting for the moment that we still did not know what had happened to T.J.
