annoyed - Story 6977 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun beat down on his back as he wrestled with the recalcitrant mower. Just as he finished the final pass, a shadow fell over him. It was old man Hemmings, and he looked like he was about to ask.

"Afternoon, young fella," he croaked, his voice raspy. He started with the pleasantries, but the direction of his gaze was a dead giveaway.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, a muscle ticking in his jaw. "Yes, Mr. Hemmings?"

"Lovely lawn you have, always have. Thought I might ask. Was thinking of putting in a small vegetable patch. The light's not the best on my side." The man looked up.

He closed his eyes, feeling the urge to scream. “I’ll give it some thought.” The lie tasted like ash in his mouth.
