vengeful - Story 162748 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The branches were gone, the tree was mostly gone. It was like a weight off my chest. For years, I had to deal with the roots and the constant mess. The leaves, the seeds, the shade. They were so inconsiderate.

Now, their yard was a disaster. I let the curtain fall back into place.

I grabbed my book and went out to my patio. The sun felt good, the air clear. I could finally enjoy the space. It was such a beautiful day.
