Man, what a day in Redon! I swear, I thought I was just gonna chill, maybe grab a croissant, but nah, life had other plans. So, I roll outta bed, right? It’s like 7 AM, and I’m already feelin’ the weight of the world. I mean, who needs sleep when you’re a shooter, right?
First thing, I hit up Rue de la République. Classic spot. Grabbed my usual café au lait. The barista, she’s cool, always gives me a wink. But today? She spills the milk all over the counter. I’m like, “C’mon, girl! I need that caffeine!” But whatever, I laugh it off.
Then, I’m cruisin’ down Rue du Général de Gaulle, and BOOM! I see this dude, right? He’s just chillin’ on a bench, lookin’ all sketchy. I’m thinkin’, “What’s this guy up to?” Turns out, he’s just feeding pigeons. Like, really? Pigeons? In Redon? I mean, I get it, they’re cute and all, but c’mon, man.
So, I keep walkin’, and I hit up the Parc de la Vilaine. Beautiful spot, right by the river. I’m takin’ a breather, just enjoying the view. The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “This is the life.” But then, outta nowhere, this kid runs by, and he’s got ice cream all over his face. I can’t help but laugh. Kids are hilarious, man.
But then, things take a turn. I get a call. “We got a situation at Place du 11 Novembre.” My heart drops. I’m like, “What now?” I rush over, and it’s chaos. People are yelling, running everywhere. I’m thinkin’, “This is not what I signed up for.”
I get there, and it’s a street fight. Two guys, just throwin’ punches like it’s a boxing match. I’m like, “Seriously? In the middle of Redon?” I step in, try to break it up. One guy looks at me like I’m crazy. I’m like, “Dude, chill! We’re in France, not a UFC ring!”
Finally, I manage to separate them. They’re both huffin’ and puffin’, and I’m just standin’ there, tryin’ to catch my breath. I’m thinkin’, “This is why I can’t have nice things.”
After that, I head over to Rue de Nantes. I need a drink. I stop at this little café, and the owner, he’s a character. He’s like, “You look like you’ve seen a ghost!” I’m like, “Nah, just a couple of idiots.” We share a laugh, and I down a beer.
But then, I get another call. “We need backup at the train station.” I’m like, “Are you kidding me?” I chug my drink and bolt.
At the station, it’s packed. People everywhere, and I’m just tryin’ to keep my cool. I spot a group of teens acting all rowdy. I’m like, “Not today, kids.” I walk over, and they scatter like cockroaches. I’m feelin’ like a boss.
But then, I see this old lady struggling with her bags. I rush over, help her out. She’s super grateful, and I’m like, “See? Not all heroes wear capes.” She laughs, and it’s a nice moment.
Finally, I wrap up my shift. I’m exhausted, but it’s been a wild ride. Redon, man. It’s got its ups and downs, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I head home, ready to crash. Tomorrow’s another day, and who knows what it’ll bring? But for now, I’m just glad to be alive.
