indignant - Story 72045 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first thing David heard was the whine of a circular saw, followed by a loud, echoing crash. He groaned, burying his face deeper into his pillow. This was not how he wanted to start his Saturday. His neighbor, Mrs. Gable, was at it again.

He could practically see the smug look on her face as she tore through her home. The image infuriated him. He had spent the entire week looking forward to a day of quiet relaxation. He wanted to scream.

He threw the covers back and stormed out of bed, intending to confront her. He was going to put a stop to this blatant disregard for common decency. He would be the one to lay down the law.
