indignant - Story 72204 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"This has got to be a joke," David muttered, his voice barely a whisper. He blinked at the scene before him, trying to process the absurdity of it. His car, his meticulously maintained, perfectly legal car, being lifted onto a flatbed. From his own driveway.

He ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. He felt a sudden, inexplicable heat in his cheeks. He crossed the street, his strides longer than usual, adrenaline pumping.

"Hey! Hey! What's going on here?" he demanded, his voice cracking slightly. The driver, a portly man with a permanent scowl, ignored him. This was not right! This was not fair!
