frightened - Story 50794 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The shadows in the corners of the living room seemed to deepen as Mark listened to the detective. The chilling story of the previous owner's demise, right here in the very chair he was currently sitting in. He shifted, trying to find a comfortable position, but couldn't.

He glanced at the antique grandfather clock in the hallway. Its rhythmic ticking, once soothing, now felt like a relentless countdown. A shiver ran through him. He reached for his coffee mug, his hand trembling slightly. The warmth did little to dissipate the growing chill that had settled deep within him.
