I laid down on the couch and started to tell my friend that my late husband haunts me every day. He sits down at the table with me, watches TV, he is everywhere. The worst part is when he slips/ sneaks into bed beside me. My boyfriend dumped me. He told me he can't stand the fact that I have better orgasms when he doesn't touch me at all. While I was telling her about my strange experience, I fell asleep. When I woke up, my friend was lying on the carpet, moaning. My husband, was on top of her, kissing her breasts.

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)
