suspicious - Story 145433 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived, a bland notification about a new bestseller. Sarah’s heart pounded. Her novel, "Crimson Rivers," was hers. The book description, the cover... it resembled her draft, which she had sent to an agent a year ago.

Her breath hitched. She scrolled through the Amazon page, her hand trembling. The same plot twists, the same characters. The only difference was the author’s name.

She tossed her phone onto the sofa, then paced her living room. The air in her apartment suddenly felt thin. The author, a woman named Elaine, was a celebrated writer. This was too much.
