disgusted - Story 29748 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The texture of the broken branches, the way they were just…lying there, made her skin crawl. Alice picked a piece of bark, and then quickly dropped it, as if burned. The sight of it made her feel queasy, the way the wood met the earth.

The neighbor’s tree, a weeping willow, now sprawled across her driveway. It had brought with it a host of insects and a thick, cloying smell that clung to her clothes.

She wanted to burn it all. She felt trapped in the chaos of it.
