greedy - Story 56830 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The digital art exhibit, filled with glowing screens and murmuring crowds, felt claustrophobic. I’d been so proud of my new creation. Then, I turned the corner and saw the identical piece displayed on a larger screen. The color drained from my face.

A cold dread coiled in my gut. The recognition, the accolades, everything that I craved, seemed to be slipping away. My breath hitched in my throat. I couldn’t let that happen.

My gaze snapped to the other artist, standing near the display, accepting compliments. I moved towards the screen, my steps quickening, a burning need filling me.
