restless - Story 119284 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Ugh,” I muttered, tossing my phone onto the bed. The request from Kevin Miller felt like a physical blow. He was always making me feel small and insignificant. My palms were slick with sweat. I got up and opened a drawer, looking for my favorite box of tea. My hands shook as I filled the kettle and set it on the stove.

The hissing of the boiling water provided a small distraction. I sipped the hot tea, trying to find some semblance of calm. It didn’t work.

I grabbed the TV remote, flipped through channels, then switched it off. I wanted to scream. I grabbed my car keys, and went for a drive. The open road, and the vast night sky, offered some temporary respite.
