impatient - Story 70745 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Honestly," huffed Emily, her voice rising with each word. The fallen branches, a mountain of wood, had rendered the cul-de-sac a dead end. She was trapped. Trapped! She wanted to scream.

She’d spent the last thirty minutes walking back and forth, muttering under her breath. The children needed to go to soccer practice, the dog needed to be walked, and she was late to meet her friends. Her nails tapped rapidly against her phone screen, refreshing the map app compulsively. Still no change.

She kicked at a stray twig on the ground, the sound echoing her irritation. Why was everything always such a hassle?
