Man, what a day! I swear, Point-Hill (jm) is wild. Like, I thought I knew this place, but today? Pffft, it threw me for a loop.
So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window on Main St. I’m like, “Great, another day of mourning.” But honestly, I was kinda pumped. I mean, how often do you get to be a Mourner in a place like Point-Hill? It’s got character, ya know?
First stop, I hit up the corner shop on Church St. Grabbed a coffee. The barista, bless her heart, spills half of it. I’m like, “Really? I need this caffeine!” But she just laughs it off. I mean, who can stay mad in Point-Hill? It’s like the city’s got this vibe that just makes you wanna smile, even when you’re bummed.
Then, I head over to the park by Hilltop Ave. It’s a nice spot, but today? Ugh. There’s this group of kids playing soccer, and they’re loud. Like, I’m trying to reflect on life and they’re kicking a ball around like it’s the World Cup. I’m like, “Chill, kiddos! Some of us are trying to mourn here!” But then, one of ‘em trips and falls. I can’t help but laugh. Karma, right?
After that, I stroll down to the old cemetery on Oak St. It’s peaceful, ya know? But today, it felt heavy. I’m standing there, thinking about life and death, and this old dude comes up to me. He’s like, “You here to mourn or just hang out?” I’m like, “Dude, I’m a Mourner. It’s my job.” He just nods, like he gets it.
But then, outta nowhere, this storm rolls in. I mean, it’s sunny one minute, and the next? Boom! Thunder, lightning, the whole shebang. I’m soaked in seconds. I’m standing there, drenched, thinking, “Is this a sign? Am I supposed to be sadder?”
I duck into a café on Maple St. to escape the rain. It’s cozy, but the Wi-Fi’s spotty. I’m trying to check my messages, but it keeps cutting out. I’m like, “C’mon, Point-Hill! Get it together!” But the barista? She’s super chill. Offers me a slice of cake. I’m like, “You’re a lifesaver!”
After the storm passes, I head back out. The streets are all shiny and fresh. I love that smell after rain. It’s like the city’s breathing again. I walk past the old theater on Elm St. and see a poster for a local band. I’m like, “Man, I should check them out.”
But then, I get a call. It’s my buddy, right? He’s like, “Dude, you won’t believe this! The old clock tower on Hilltop? It’s gonna be demolished!” I’m like, “No way! That thing’s been there forever!” I mean, it’s like a landmark. Point-Hill without the clock tower? Blasphemy!
So, I rush over there. I’m fuming. I get there, and there’s a crowd. People are protesting. I’m like, “Finally, some folks who get it!” We’re all shouting, “Save the clock!” It’s kinda ridiculous, but I’m loving it.
As the sun sets, I’m standing there, surrounded by strangers, all united for this clock. It’s wild. I’m feeling all these emotions—anger, joy, hope. Point-Hill’s got this magic, man.
Finally, I head home, exhausted but happy. I think about the day. It was chaotic, emotional, and totally unexpected. But that’s Point-Hill for ya. Always keeping you on your toes.
So yeah, that was my day. Just another wild ride in this crazy city. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
