mortified - Story 90559 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold, scaly skin of the snake writhed in her hand. She stared at it. She couldn’t bring herself to move. Liam beamed at her. This wasn’t some sort of cute, fluffy kitten.

She knew she had failed. She knew she was in trouble. The thought of the snake escaping, of the inevitable feeding schedule, of anything to do with this creature sent a chill down her spine.

Her voice cracked as she attempted to release the snake back into its tank. She felt herself, tiny and insignificant, about to be devoured by this bizarre situation.
