La monja fatal [may 10] by JavierPsilocybin

(Like I told you before: 'Monja' in Spanish means nun.)

author's comments (translated):

I remember one occasion when in a hostel in Florence, a roommate told me a story that had happened to him. He had gone to the Vatican, and during his visit he encounters a passing nun. She asks him for a bit of money, but he tells her has none. Then the nun pulls out a knife and literally assaults him. The guy in question told me that he only had € 5 in his wallet and was all that he could give her. "But I have no regrets," he said, "history is worth more than five euros."
