Night Note
France Freedom Fighter reports for the late shift when the shutters rattle and the boulevard fills. He has no manifesto longer than a bakery receipt. He wants the square open, the neighbors safe, and tomorrow’s croissants delivered on time. If a barricade needs watching, he watches it. If a chant needs volume, he supplies the face. At dawn, he takes attendance by counting dented café chairs near the curb.
Liberty clocks out after breakfast.
