disgusted - Story 29548 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone slipped from her grasp, clattering onto the hardwood floor. The screen displayed a version of her son, Alex, she barely recognized. The posts were laced with a venom she couldn't comprehend. She felt as though something had physically struck her.

She stared, unmoving, at the phone, as if a dangerous animal lay at her feet. She suddenly had no desire to move, to speak, to do anything.

She eventually picked the phone up, her fingers barely making contact with the cold screen. She had a terrible and overwhelming desire to take a shower.

She felt a wave of emptiness wash over her.
