worn out - Story 168158 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive to the interview felt like an eternity. Sam clenched the steering wheel, his knuckles white. The city blurred past in a wash of gray and brown. He hadn't slept well in weeks.

The exhaustion was a physical ache. His head pounded, his stomach churned, and his limbs felt heavy. He had rehearsed his answers a hundred times, but the words felt hollow, lacking conviction.

He parked the car, and just sat there for a few minutes. He wanted to turn around, to go home, to crawl into bed and disappear. The sun beat down, turning the car into an oven.
