suspicious - Story 145909 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the sudden silence that did it. One day the college was full of the sound of classes. The next day, after the email, it was like a ghost town. The cafeteria was empty. The student union was deserted.

I went to the Dean’s office. The door was locked. I knocked. No answer. I peered through the window. It was empty. The furniture was gone.

I went to the library. The librarian seemed upset, but wouldn't say anything.

I drove home. The college felt like a bad dream.
