irritated - Story 78439 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The local newspaper touted "The Best Buttermilk Biscuits in Town: Courtesy of Mrs. Henderson!" Martha crumpled the paper in her hand. Mrs. Henderson was her neighbor.

She slammed the paper onto the table. The words seemed to mock her. Her recipe, the result of years of practice, was now being celebrated as someone else's.

A feeling of intense agitation surged through her. She felt like tearing something. She then took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down. The clenching of her fists seemed to ease.
