Man, what a day! I woke up in Zorya, and let me tell ya, it was a rollercoaster. First off, I’m a Mourner, right? So, my job is to be all sad and stuff, but today? Today was a whole different vibe.
I hit the streets of Zorya, and it was like the universe was throwing me curveballs left and right. I strolled down Shevchenka Street, and boom! There’s this old lady selling flowers. I mean, who doesn’t love flowers? But then I see her trying to sell a wilted bouquet. Like, c’mon, lady! You can do better! I was ready to give her a piece of my mind, but then she smiled at me. Ugh, I can’t be mad at a grandma, right? So I just bought a couple of those sad flowers.
Then I headed over to the park near the Zorya River. It’s usually chill there, but today? Nah. There were kids running around, screaming like they were possessed. I swear, one kid almost knocked me over. I was like, “Dude, chill! I’m just trying to mourn here!” But then I saw a couple of them playing with a dog, and it was kinda cute. Made me smile a bit.
But then, outta nowhere, it started raining. Like, seriously? I’m trying to have a moment here! I ducked into a café on Haharina Street. It’s this cozy little spot, and I thought, “Okay, I’ll grab a coffee and wait it out.” But the barista? She was having a rough day too. She spilled coffee everywhere! I mean, I get it, we all have those days, but c’mon! I just wanted a caffeine fix!
So, I finally got my coffee, and I sat by the window, watching the rain. It was kinda peaceful, ya know? But then I overheard this couple arguing. Like, really? In public? I couldn’t help but eavesdrop. They were fighting about… wait for it… who left the lights on at home. I mean, seriously? That’s what you’re fighting about? I almost laughed out loud.
After the rain stopped, I decided to take a walk down to the Zorya Cultural Center. They had some art exhibit going on. I’m not an art person, but I thought, “Why not?” I walked in, and there was this giant painting of a cat. A CAT! I mean, who paints a cat that big? I couldn’t help but chuckle. I thought, “This is the kind of art I can get behind!”
But then, I bumped into an old friend. We hadn’t seen each other in ages. We started catching up, and it was great until he mentioned he was moving away. Like, what? Why would you leave Zorya? It’s awesome here! I got all emotional, and I could feel the tears coming. I mean, I’m a Mourner, but I didn’t wanna be mourning my friend leaving too!
So, I took him to my favorite spot by the river. We sat there, reminiscing about the good ol’ days. The sun was setting, and it was beautiful. I felt a mix of happiness and sadness. It’s weird how life works, right? One moment you’re laughing, the next you’re crying.
As the day wrapped up, I walked back home, feeling all sorts of things. Zorya had thrown me a wild ride today. I was angry, happy, surprised, and everything in between. I guess that’s life, huh? Full of unexpected twists and turns.
So yeah, that was my day in Zorya. Just another day in the life of a Mourner, I guess. But honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
