uneasy - Story 156699 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive home felt longer than usual. Mark drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, the rhythm reflecting the rapid beat of his heart. The evening news droned on the radio, but he couldn't focus on the stories. He kept replaying the events of the day in his mind.

He pulled into his driveway, but didn’t immediately shut off the engine. The silence of the car felt less oppressive than the silence of the office. He stared at his house, the lights in the windows a cold invitation.

He took a deep breath, and finally turned off the engine, but the feeling lingered in his chest as he walked to the front door.
