hateful - Story 61155 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone rang. It was Mr. Henderson from HR. His voice was smooth, regretful. "Thank you for your time, Michael, but..." Michael cut him off, a sharp, bitter edge to his voice. "Don't bother." He slammed the phone down.

He walked into the kitchen, his shoulders hunched. He knew. Liam, of course, had gotten the job. The guy with the network of contacts. The guy who was always laughing and making jokes. The guy who was probably already talking shit about him.

He slammed the refrigerator door open. He needed something, anything, to make the feeling subside. He looked at the half-eaten pizza and kicked the table leg, and the floor felt like it was shifting.
