vengeful - Story 162257 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The feeling was a knot in my stomach. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. Everything tasted like ashes. *His* name, *his* success. My hard work, stolen. My future, usurped.

I started small, a slow burn. I subtly redirected his funding opportunities, made inquiries about his contracts, and left anonymous reviews that questioned the authenticity of his work.

The whispers began. His projects were delayed. His deadlines missed. His reputation frayed. I knew that it wasn't enough, but it was a beginning. A small victory.

A little bit of justice.
