In my story, Little Red Riding Hood is a secondary character. The main character is the Dacian Wolf. One morning, he got up from the bet with a plan. He brushed his teeth, ate a piece of cheese and a cabbage salad, then put on his honey badger hat and rode a foal. He rode into the tunnel under Bucegi and traveled to Grandma's house, in Primăverii. He wiped his feet and went inside. The foal didn't, because he did not enter. Granny, I came to eat you. Eat me, my ass, you beast. I am immortal.

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)
