I, Viola Tarakanova, decided to help my friend Milka Karkina, whose home has been invaded by a crocodile effigy—a totem of a cruel African tribe. The effigy threatens the whole family, but I think it’s absurd. We need to throw it out—onto the dump! However, the effigy ends up back at the door again, and Milka’s parents die under mysterious circumstances. Could it be connected to a curse? I don’t believe in mysticism and intend to burn this terrible effigy. Time to deal with real problems.
