suspicious - Story 145510 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He leaned against the fence, his arms crossed, watching the dog. A Dalmatian, this time. The variety of dogs, the frequency, it was all too much. He hadn't been to sleep in a week.

He didn’t trust his neighbor, the new guy, Mr. Evans. Something about him. The way he looked at his house, the way he seemed to be watching. He felt trapped.

He kept the lights on late at night. He had been checking his windows and doors three, then four times a night. He watched the dog sniff around the same spot near the shed.

He felt a surge of adrenaline. His eyes darted around, searching. He needed to find out what was going on, before it was too late.
