In the hazelnut house, a fairy wanted to grant Pinnochio at least one wish. The guy very much wanted to become one with her, so she made him a dildo. In a different house, seven dwarfs ceaselessly rubbed their coffee off. Snow White, hot in body and soul, rubbed them all off in her coffee cup. In the woods, Prince Charming constantly rubbed off the baldy, waiting for the dwarfs to leave. The horse had no bit. They were all rubbing something off, especially the fairy who realized she needed batteries. Still, the horse had a dilemma. What should he rub off?

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 December 2021, the group has 7.750 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)
