Question about English (US)
If we split up the extract into more sentences the affect achieved is a suspenseful story. The used points create a pause between sentences and the writing flows with an anguished tone. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
I’m guessing you are explaining how the excerpt achieves a suspenseful mood.
I’m not sure if that’s what you are doing.
I tried cutting it down to this:
The deliberate use of short sentences in this excerpt helps create the feelings of suspense . Each pause between sentences interrupts the flow and adds to the anguished tone.
