panicked - Story 100504 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her hands were shaking as she reached for the garden hose. Her mouth was dry. She fumbled with the nozzle, her fingers clumsy and unresponsive. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, wishing, pleading.

She turned the water on full blast, aiming it wildly in the general direction of the intruder.
