The ones from Real Fiction group. But we don't really respect them and we write about green parsley, when the topic is about marijuana and without analyzing the text we arrive in Dubai, although the road was to Ciorogârla. So we skip the imposed characters and hit the traffic signs. And then we return it as in Ploiești, asking the question when our astonishment is deeper. We set the limits of the simple rule of three and make it more complex, skipping the burn, putting and eliminating characters, and reaching the set limits.

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 November 2021, the group has 7.500 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)
