alarmed - Story 1931 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell chimed, a cheerful sound that felt horribly out of place. Rain lashed against the front window as Eleanor peered through the peephole. No one. She unlocked the door cautiously, a shiver running down her spine. A bouquet of lilies sat on the doormat, their white faces serene and unsuspecting. She bent to pick them up, fingers stiff with unease, and inhaled their fragrance, trying to find some comfort in it, but only smelled the metallic tang of fear.
