worn out - Story 168154 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the impending interview settled on David’s shoulders like a physical burden. He ran his hand through his hair, the gesture automatic, a sign of his internal turmoil. He had stayed up late, trying to refine his portfolio. Every click of the mouse seemed to echo the emptiness he felt.

He felt depleted. His legs ached, his eyes stung, and the world seemed to be moving in slow motion. The thought of feigning enthusiasm during the interview brought a wave of nausea.

He stared at the job description. The words blurred before his eyes. It was all a blur. He just wished he could take a nap and wake up and have it all done.
