irritated - Story 78954 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The relentless dripping of the leaky faucet in the guest bathroom echoed in Liam’s ears as he stared at the metal container he’d unearthed in the garden.

He felt a sharp knot forming in his stomach.

He ran a hand through his hair, leaving a streak of dirt across his forehead. Why couldn't he remember planting this blasted thing? He picked up a crowbar from his toolbox. The garden, he decided, could wait.
