I rewrote Little Red Riding Hood

Refutation
Give me a break, will you? She's not as kind and innocent as you say. Have you seen her dress? How disrespectful, you can see her panties. And, might I add, she can't stand her grandma. She went to her grandma just because her mother yelled at her, otherwise she wouldn't have gone there in a million years. On top of that, her granny even gives her some money from her modest special loan. But she spends it all at the forest bar. How do I know all of this? Well I hang out with some friends playing poker there. I even played with her a couple of times. No, not poker, but something more intimate, more erotic. So, you should cut the crap, she already knew about big eyes and big ears.
Yours, Wolf.

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 October 2021, the group has 7.275 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)
