impatient - Story 70369 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

John sat on the porch steps, the damp chill of the morning seeping through his jeans. He checked his watch again. And again. The mail should have arrived by now.

He went to the mailbox, opening it with a quick snap of the door. Just a handful of fliers and a bill. He threw the mail back in and slammed the box shut, the sound echoing in the stillness.
