mad - Story 87036 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, the book lying open on the countertop. His face was flushed, his eyes blazing. The stranger staring back at him was not him; the man in the biography was a distorted caricature, a creature of the author's twisted imagination.

He ripped the book from the countertop, tossing it with a violent shove into the bathtub. The plastic felt so cold beneath his hand. He turned on the faucet, a torrent of water cascading over the pages, watching the words bleed and blur. The image of the author's face flashed in his mind.

He leaned against the wall, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Every word had been a lie, an act of theft and betrayal. He wanted to destroy it all, to obliterate the falsified version of his life.
