frustrated - Story 51378 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The new job was demanding, the commute brutal, and the house felt like a constant reminder of how much time he didn't have. He wanted to relax. He wanted to watch television. He didn't want to deal with this, not now.

He was in the master bedroom, attempting to hang a picture, when his hammer slipped, striking the wall with more force than intended. A small section of the wall board caved in. He glared at the hole, a grimace twisting his lips.

Behind the drywall was a small cubby hole, and more complications he had to deal with.
