enraged - Story 43852 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He snatched the list from the lawyer’s hands, the paper crinkling audibly. *Ride a Harley Davidson.* Dad, a man who considered a walk to the mailbox an arduous undertaking. What insanity was this? James gripped the list so tight his knuckles were white.

The lawyer's concerned expression did nothing to soothe the heat prickling his skin. "Are you alright, Mr. Harding?"

"Fine," James spat, his voice tight. He scanned the next item: "Climb Mount Everest." He practically choked. This was a man who preferred his armchair to anything resembling exercise. This whole thing was an insult.

He strode out of the office, the list clutched like a weapon. The humid summer air felt suffocating. He threw the ridiculous list into the trash can. Then, he kicked the can, sending it skidding down the sidewalk.
