uneasy - Story 156209 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The familiar scent of the morning coffee was suddenly revolting. As she took a step out the front door, Lisa's world seemed to shrink. Her mouth went dry. A knot formed in her stomach. Where the car should have been, there was nothing.

She took a shaky breath. She felt an invisible weight pressing down on her shoulders, making her want to crumble. She felt a burning sensation in her cheeks.

She tried to rationalize it, to find a logical explanation. But the fear, raw and visceral, rose in her throat, choking her.
