uneasy - Story 156205 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to tilt on its axis as John found the space where his truck should have been. He felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of vertigo. His breath came in shallow, ragged gasps. He wanted to scream.

He clenched his fists, knuckles white. The air felt thick, charged with an invisible tension. He wanted to lash out, break something.

He started pacing, back and forth, muttering to himself under his breath. He could feel a cold sweat slicking his palms. It was a terrible, gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach.
