shocked - Story 132379 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house had a history, that was for sure. Liam knew it. But as he stood before the newly exposed doorway in the cellar, he was not sure how to feel. There were no windows, and the walls were covered in something that looked like… dried blood.

He felt a knot form in his stomach. He was breathing quickly. He’d known the old house had a dark feel, but he hadn’t expected this.

He had to get out. He had to run. He thought about calling for help, but then the door clicked shut.
