irritated - Story 78048 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the house felt thick, oppressive. Maria felt her chest tighten with each resounding blow of the hammer. She pulled the covers over her head, wishing for oblivion. The rhythmic pounding intensified, and the image of her neighbor, smiling with a tool in his hand, filled her mind.

She kicked the sheets off in anger, and went to open her window. She felt the urge to scream. Instead, she took a long, slow breath, determined to find a way to deal with the constant din. She got up, and began the task of cleaning the whole house, finding solace in the repetitive act.
