insulted - Story 75508 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of that darned terrier, digging up my petunias, caused a familiar tightness in my chest. Did they think I was invisible? Did they think I wouldn't notice, or care? I felt a sudden urge to scream.

I made the short walk over to their house. The door opened and there they stood.

“Your dog,” I began, my voice trembling slightly, “is in my yard.”

They simply shrugged. “Oh, Sparky. He’s just a dog, you know?”

I slowly turned around and headed back home. I knew what to do.
