hateful - Story 61369 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house was a mess, clothes strewn everywhere, dishes piled in the sink. Emily had just about had it. She grabbed the mail. Bills, and a brightly colored card with glitter. No signature. Just “Happy Birthday!” inside. Her birthday wasn’t for months. She felt her face twist in a way that was new to her.

She ripped the card in half, then again, and again, shredding it into tiny pieces. What a joke. Who did they think they were? She was better off alone. She had no time for this.

She went to the kitchen and grabbed a hammer, then slammed it against the counter. Her knuckles were white. The feeling, the feeling she felt, was the only thing she had. And she would not let it go.
