enraged - Story 43085 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air was thick with the scent of freshly cut wood and the sound of buzzing power tools. A knot formed in David's stomach as he watched the fence panels go up, each board a deliberate act of aggression. His hands trembled as he held his coffee mug. This was his property, his space.

He stalked around the border, muttering under his breath. The property line had always been a fluid, unspoken agreement. This rigid demarcation felt like a personal insult.

He began to pace, the soles of his shoes wearing a groove into the grass. The sun beat down, and sweat trickled down his back.
