frustrated - Story 51750 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog whined at his feet. A low tremor of anger ran through him. He kicked at a loose stone near the fallen poplar. The sight of the massive trunk, blocking the street, blocking his view, was infuriating. The city workers promised to clear it, but when? The feeling of being trapped, helpless, consumed him. He grabbed the leash and started walking, the dog’s whimpers a faint echo of his own unrest.
