frustrated - Story 51990 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The landlord's cheery phone call was the last straw. The building was going condo. For the third time in ten years. He slammed the phone down. He could feel his ears ringing. This was a nightmare.

He was tired of starting over. He wanted to scream. His jaw was clenched, his shoulders tight.

He threw himself onto the couch. His fingers raked through his hair. He needed to escape. He needed this to be over.
