angry - Story 5203 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No way," Leo breathed, staring at the empty space where his pickup truck usually resided. The sun was rising, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, but all he could focus on was the barren expanse of concrete. His stomach churned. He had been so looking forward to his fishing trip.

He stalked towards his neighbour's house, his boots thudding against the pavement. The world seemed to be closing in around him, constricting his chest. It was a clear violation. His driveway, his space. "I cannot believe this," he muttered under his breath.

He found himself wanting to shout, to let it all out, but he forced the words down. His knuckles were white as he pounded on his neighbour's door. He would have answers. He would have justice.
