irritated - Story 78957 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The musty smell of the basement clung to Fiona's clothes, and she wished she’d brought a flashlight. The only light came from the single bare bulb dangling precariously from the ceiling.

The cold metal of the time capsule box sent a shiver down her spine. The basement was cold enough as it was. "Of all the things," she muttered to herself, her voice echoing in the cavernous space. Why did she have to choose this exact moment to forget she put this away?
