outraged - Story 98744 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable!" Michael roared, his voice cracking with the force of his emotion. The oak was gone. The entire, glorious, majestic oak that provided shade for his beloved dog, Buddy, and kept his house cooler in the summer. He had admired that tree for years.

He charged across his lawn towards his neighbour’s property, his face flushed. The sight of the tree, now a heap of splintered wood and broken branches, filled him with a potent sense of unfairness.

His neighbour, a weedy looking fellow named Harold, emerged from his house, looking sheepish. Michael felt his blood boil. He wanted to grab Harold and shake him. He wanted to scream.
