suspicious - Story 145024 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The shadows in the house seemed deeper now, the silence heavier. I found myself jumpy, startled by sudden noises, constantly glancing over my shoulder. Each crayon mark felt like a poke in the back.

I started taking the stairs two at a time, each creak of the floorboards amplifying my unease. Amelia asked for more paper. She wanted to draw the "bestest picture ever." I could feel the blood drain from my face.

I forced a smile, handing her the pad. "Have fun," I mumbled, then retreated to the farthest corner of the living room, heart hammering in my chest. I couldn't bear to watch.
