Ač jsem veskrze pragmatická, přece jen jsem několikrát v životě narazila na věci zvláštní... třeba dnes v noci.
Utočili na mě děsi, všemožné příšery, tlamy otevřené, oči vyvalené, co chvíli to vypadalo, že je po mě. Fakt jsem se bála. Musela jsem vstát, rozsvítit a zaměstnat se něčím jiným, abych se jich zbavila.

Takže vytyčuji téma: tajemno... Setkali jste se s něčím, co si nedokážete vysvětlit?
