irritated - Story 78351 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The attic door groaned open, a sound that sliced through the afternoon quiet. Sunlight, thick with dust motes, illuminated the space. Martha pinched her lips together, adjusting the flashlight beam. She had wanted to start weeding the petunias, but the blasted realtor had assured her the attic was "completely cleared."

She kicked at a cardboard box. It shifted slightly, revealing a chipped ceramic doll with vacant eyes. "Wonderful," she muttered, her voice tight. The doll's porcelain face seemed to mock her.

A wave of heat flushed her cheeks. She really should have been wearing a hat. The air up here was already stifling.
