When she's an angel, he's a demon. When she is body, he is soul. When he is strength, she becomes weakness. When she is heart, he is reason. She is more than a simple woman. His woman. He is more than a simple man. Her man. Together they are love and beauty. Out of love a whole is born and something more. They met when each of them was less than half of what they are now. They are in a continuous equation, with a positive result.

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 June 2021, the group has 6.650 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)
