angry - Story 5529 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

John sat at the kitchen table, the newspaper open in front of him. The headline screamed the truth. He'd known this author's books by heart. He used to quote them to his friends. Now, seeing them exposed as a fraud, he wanted to break everything he owned.

He stood up, paced the room. He walked back to the table and saw his own work, his own unpublished manuscripts. Now it felt as if even his creations were sullied. He grabbed a pen and began to furiously scribble words onto a blank sheet of paper, the ink a dark, angry smear.

He crumpled the sheet up and threw it into the trash.
