disgusted - Story 29359 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The moment John stepped into the attic, a wave of revulsion washed over him. The air was thick with the scent of decay. He wrinkled his nose. He could barely breathe.

He stumbled over a discarded shoe, and he noticed a collection of decaying books. He saw a stained, moth-eaten rug, stretched out on the floor. His stomach churned. The details seemed to swarm around him. He felt an urge to flee.

He took a deep breath, fighting down the urge to gag. He pictured a long, hot shower and an entire bottle of disinfectant. That was his immediate future.
