suspicious - Story 145090 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't seen the neighbor, Mr. Davis, in weeks. Then, suddenly, there were workmen, a truck, a chain-link fence going up. The whole thing felt rushed, secretive. Mr. Davis hadn't sent a notice. He hadn't asked.

The fence, it was an intrusion.

He tried to call, but there was no answer. He stood in his front yard, watching the construction, a knot forming in his stomach. The air crackled with a tension he couldn't explain, a premonition of something terrible. He knew, with a certainty that chilled him to the core, that something was terribly wrong.
