paranoid - Story 101979 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He knew this was wrong. The woman, with her carefully placed smile, wanted access to his yard. "Just a bit of space," she had said, her voice sweet and inviting. "I love gardening."

He imagined her, wandering through his yard, noting everything. What did she want? He felt like he couldn't breathe. His palms were slick with sweat.

He found himself shaking his head, mumbling an apology. He was running backwards now. He had to be safe. He ran to his safe and gathered all his valuables, ready to flee at a moment's notice.

He watched the woman from the window, and he knew they were coming for him.
