worn out - Story 168704 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun, usually a welcome sight, felt like a spotlight on Leo's exhaustion. He sat hunched over his desk, the fluorescent lights of the office amplifying the throbbing in his head. The never-ending flow of requests felt suffocating.

He felt like a marionette, pulled in too many directions by invisible strings.

"Did you ever go to Camp Clearwater?" he heard a cheerful voice ask him. He barely even registered the words. He did not know who was speaking. He felt a desire to lie flat on the floor and go to sleep.

"The one with the archery range?" The voice pressed on. Leo finally looked up. It was Brian, his co-worker. Leo nodded slowly, the memory of a distant summer camp, now a million miles away, flickered across his mind. "I did," he replied, his voice barely audible.
