suspicious - Story 145030 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The familiar silhouette appeared again, this time in a dream. I woke up in a cold sweat. The artwork had become a dark obsession. I found myself scrutinizing every detail.

The light in the house felt different, dimmer. I felt an inexplicable dread. Every creak of the floorboards, every rustle of the leaves outside the window, sent a jolt of alarm through me.

I decided to stop visiting. But I felt like that wouldn't make a difference. The feeling of being watched remained. The memory of my childhood imaginary friend was a ghost in my mind, and I couldn't seem to shake it.
