enraged - Story 43513 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to have narrowed to the confines of his own chest, each breath a struggle against a crushing weight. He felt like he had been punched, somewhere in his gut. The coach's words replayed over and over in his head, each syllable a fresh wound. *We're going in a different direction.* Bullshit!

He couldn't even meet the other players' eyes as they patted his back and offered awkward condolences. He mumbled a few thank yous, wanting only to be alone. He walked to the storage room and leaned against the cold metal door, and listened to the distant sounds of practice. He hated them all.

He pushed off the door and headed out. He needed a drink, a strong one. That might help.
