alarmed - Story 1870 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The anonymous postcard, depicting a scene from the town's park, was tucked inside Mrs. Adams's mailbox. She frowned, her pulse quickening as she examined it. The handwriting on the back was familiar, yet distorted, as if deliberately altered. A chill spread through her chest.

She read the cryptic message: "We haven't forgotten." Her blood ran cold. The park was where she took her dogs every day. The postcard seemed to pulse with a silent threat.

Her hands shook as she grabbed her phone, her eyes darting nervously towards the street. Something was not right. Something was very wrong.
