uneasy - Story 156208 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The click of the gate latch sounded unusually loud in the morning quiet. Richard walked towards the spot where his truck usually stood. A wave of disorientation washed over him. He blinked, expecting to see it, but nothing.

His breath hitched in his throat. His chest felt constricted. His hands clenched into fists. He felt the urge to pace, to do something, anything, to break free from this feeling.

He rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head. It was a cold dread that began to settle deep within his bones.
