Man, what a day! Seriously, Tlumach is wild. I woke up thinking it’d be just another boring Tuesday. Boy, was I wrong.
So, I’m a Refractor, right? Sounds fancy, but it’s just a cool way to say I fix stuff. Glasses, lenses, you name it. Anyway, I hit the streets of Tlumach, and it’s like the universe decided to throw me a curveball.
First off, I’m walking down Shevchenka Street, and I see this old lady. She’s trying to cross the road, but cars are zooming by like they’re in a race. I’m like, “C’mon, people! It’s not a demolition derby!” So, I rush over, help her out. She’s super grateful, bless her heart. But then, she starts telling me her life story. I mean, I love a good chat, but I gotta get to work!
Finally, I escape her tales and head to my shop on Hrushevskoho Street. The moment I step in, I see my buddy Vasyl. He’s got this huge grin on his face. I’m like, “What’s up, man?” He says he just got a shipment of vintage glasses. I’m thinking, “Sweet! Let’s make some cash!” But then, he drops the bomb. They’re all broken. Like, seriously? Who sends broken stuff?
I’m fuming. I mean, Tlumach is known for its craftsmanship, right? But here we are, dealing with junk. So, I grab a coffee from the corner café on Kovalivka Street. Best coffee in town, no joke. I take a sip, and it’s like heaven. But then, I spill it all over my shirt. Great. Just great.
Now I’m walking around with a coffee stain like a badge of honor. I hit the market on Tsentralna Street. It’s buzzing with life. Vendors shouting, people haggling. I love it! But then, I see this guy trying to sell me a “rare” lens. I can tell it’s just a cheap knockoff. I’m like, “Dude, I’m a Refractor. You think I can’t tell?” He just shrugs. Ugh, people!
After that, I decide to take a breather. I head to the park by the river. It’s peaceful there, you know? I sit on a bench, just watching the world go by. Kids are playing, couples are laughing. It’s nice. But then, outta nowhere, this pigeon lands on my head. I freak out! Like, what’s with the birds today?
I shake it off and head back to the shop. I’m thinking, “Okay, let’s turn this day around.” I get back, and guess what? Vasyl found a way to fix the broken glasses! I’m like, “Dude, you’re a genius!” We spend the next few hours working together, laughing, and just enjoying the chaos of Tlumach.
By the end of the day, I’m exhausted but happy. I love this city. It’s messy, it’s loud, but it’s home. Tlumach, you crazy place, you never fail to surprise me. I head home, coffee-stained shirt and all, thinking about tomorrow. What’s next? Who knows! But I’m ready for it. Bring it on!
