enraged - Story 43587 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cheap, tinny sound of the karaoke machine assaulted Marcus's ears. The bar was dim, smelling of stale beer and desperation. A drunken man, off-key and slurring, butchered Marcus’s most personal composition, "Silent Tears."

He felt a searing heat crawl up his neck. He wanted to shout, to stop the music, to drag the man off the stage. His body felt heavy, his legs rooted to the floor. He watched the man sing, the lyrics, his emotions, twisted and cheapened.

He tossed his drink down in one gulp, the bitter liquid burning his throat. He had to leave before he exploded.
