disturbed - Story 33749 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had been working in his garden when it happened. The sound of the tree collapsing on the neighbour's property had caused him to jump. Now, he was unable to continue. He kept dropping things. His hands trembled so much that he put his gardening tools away.

He felt the need to get away, so he decided to leave. He wasn't sure where he was going. He just needed to drive, get out of the house, away from the unsettling silence. The road felt long. He rolled down the windows, hoping to clear his head, but the air offered no relief. It felt heavy, and the world seemed to tilt.
