nervous - Story 92366 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card, a simple blue with gold lettering, lay like a trap in her hands. Amelia felt a tightening in her chest. She hadn’t received a card in years. An anonymous message, wishing her a happy birthday?

She went into the house, her movements jerky. Every shadow seemed to lengthen, to twist into menacing shapes. She placed the card on the kitchen table and stood rooted to the spot, unable to look away. What did it mean? Who had sent it?

She walked over to the windows, her gaze constantly scanning the street, searching the faces of those who passed by. She felt a phantom touch on her shoulder.
