suspicious - Story 145050 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drilling echoed through the morning quiet. It was persistent, relentless, and it set my teeth on edge. The new people, the Smiths, had moved in only a few months before, and now they were rebuilding something.

I stood at my kitchen window, my stomach churning. I had a hard time understanding why they were doing this. They were quiet. The workers were quiet. Even the tools seemed quiet.

My hand drifted to the phone. The need to talk about it with someone almost overwhelmed me. It made me feel like I was going crazy, and I felt a pressure building in my chest.
