greedy - Story 56968 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The list was tucked inside a worn copy of *Moby Dick*. "Learn to surf," it began, in Ben's familiar handwriting. "Write a screenplay. Visit Japan. Open a surf shop." Liam felt a peculiar itch under his skin. *A surf shop*, he thought. Ben had always been so carefree, so passionate. And a surf shop sounded fun, easy.

The screenplay, that was a burden. He couldn't be burdened. He could take his time, no need to rush. He could be rich and happy.

He would take the surf shop. He could learn how to surf. He grabbed his phone and started researching local business mentors.
