bewildered - Story 13357 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor had said the attic was "empty." Liar. It was crammed. He’d barely squeezed in, his shoulders brushing cobwebs.

He noticed a forgotten suitcase. He unzipped it, revealing several rolls of film. He pulled one out. He didn’t recognize the camera it would need.

He sat back on his heels, a slow, confused feeling washing over him. He was losing all interest in the attic now. The suitcase was full of images of a place he’d never seen. He felt a weird, sinking sensation.
