irate - Story 77174 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The blood was roaring in Alex's ears. He was on the phone, listening to the voicemail of "Doctor" Ben. The same Ben who had "cured" his ailing grandmother with an experimental treatment. A treatment that cost a small fortune.

The voice message was a jumble of automated prompts, punctuated by a canned, cheerful announcement about an upcoming open day. The open day was not for a private clinic. It was for a pet grooming salon. He wanted to rip the phone from the wall and smash it.

Alex ran his hand through his hair. He could taste bile in his mouth.
