hateful - Story 61589 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I heard the opening chords as I walked into the record store. It was a cover, a cover of *my* song, “Shadows of Doubt.” The voice was different, smoother, but it was still undeniably mine, though now it was tainted by another's interpretation.

My stomach twisted. I wanted to smash the display, to tear down all the posters featuring that singer. I wanted to ruin everything that had her name on it.

I grabbed the CD, my fingers trembling. I walked to the counter, paid, and then immediately crushed it under my heel in the parking lot.
