Veronika Opatřilová

Náslouchám příběhům a snažím se je zaznamenat. Žiju pro okamžiky, miluju moře, les, kočky a koně a všechno živé a všechno taky za živé považuju. Píšu, protože to je mým smyslem života. A taky si myslím, že nejlepším místem pro život je ostrov, jakýkoli, protože kamkoli se člověk podívá, všude uvidí moře.
