disgusted - Story 29657 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The picture, a photo of her cat dressed in a ridiculous hat, was supposed to go to her sister. She looked at the text message thread, and her eyes widened in horror. It had gone to her ex's mother. She felt a burning sensation in her throat.

She wanted to erase the whole world. She ripped the SIM card out of her phone. She flung it across the room.

She picked up the phone again.

The floral wallpaper in the kitchen was now making her head spin.
