vengeful - Story 162800 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old house creaked, a constant reminder of its dark past. John, a software engineer, hated the place. The previous owner had died. He was murdered in the bathroom. John knew all about the case; he’d seen the pictures, read the report. His own life had been filled with injustice. His business partners had cheated him.

He began the renovations. But he wasn’t interested in fixing the bathroom. He was interested in setting up a network.

The house, once a silent witness to a violent crime, was now to become a stage for John's own twisted drama.
