spiteful - Story 138439 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I saw it on the front of the local newspaper: "The Rise of Isabella's Ice Cream Emporium!" They used *my* recipe for "Midnight Mint Chip," the one I was famous for. The one I *gave* Isabella, a friend. My eyes stung.

I walked to the local store and purchased every flavor of ice cream they had, specifically the ones I invented. I'd stand in the park tomorrow and give them all away. I'd watch the customers enjoy something that was technically, and legally, mine.
