It is called The Museum of The First Read Book. I beg all my friends to send me their exhibits. Mine is Mache, the duck in sandals, a very well designed book about a ruffled boy who sleeps at the shadow of a tree. The Duck, Mache stole his sandals and flatters with them on the woof. I will continue with The Museum of the First Watched Movie. Two Times Lotte, a directed film about twins. I do not remember it clearly but I know that my father forgot his briefcase and my boots in the balcony. They were the first and the last that he bought for me, poor him.

Real Fiction is a collective project started in 2013 by Florin Piersic Jr. The concept of Real Fiction continued to exist as a Facebook group, after a volume of stories was published at Humanitas Publishing House. (In April 2021, the group has 5.600 members.) The authors write ultra-short stories, with the texts limited to 500 characters (in Romanian, so the length of the English translation might be a little different) - a flash-fiction exercise on a topic that changes every few days. The group's coordinators are Florin Piersic Jr., Gabriel Molnar, Răzvan Penescu, and Luchian Abel. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
