Už si nevzpomíná, čím její sbírka začala. Snad útržkem rozhovoru, jež zaslechla při mytí dřezu? Brzy (při utírání prachu či odmrazování ledničky) si všimla, že jí lidé vyprávějí své příběhy. Možná to tak dělali vždy, ale teď je to jiné, teď se k ní příběhy natahují a ona je shromažďuje u sebe...Když Janice začne uklízet u devadesátileté paní B., konečně potká někoho, kdo chce naopak slyšet její příběh. Janice má však jasno: je strážkyní příběhů a nemá svůj vlastní, který by mohla vyprávět. Alespoň ne takový, o nějž by se mohla podělit.Jenže paní B. není hloupá a tuší, že v Janice je skryto mnohem víc, než se na první pohled zdá... Sdílet Den za dnem se kolem nás míhá tisíce příběhů ukrytých v hlavách svých nositelů, mnohdy se po nich stačí jen natáhnout. Pocítil jsem potřebu zastavit se uprostřed lidského shonu, vypnout sluchátka, potlačit vlastní myšlenky, zavřít oči a zaposlouchat se. Stačí mi pár chvil a náhle se dívám na svět úplně jinak. Okolo sebe vidím lidské bytosti, které zažily zázraky i trýznění. Někteří bojovali a zvítězili, zatímco jiní ve hře o život prohráli a odešli zlomení. Povězte svůj příběh a já vám budu naslouchat.
