and it was once again. She could feel the smell of new beginnings, she was riding her saddle and the horsepower were functioning at fullest. In her city he was about to call her over to his place. Since a week ago he proposed the date, an idea altering the fiction, if he had not been sometimes greedy for her. A natural hunter, he had as many women as counted from alfa to omega, all of them bewitched by his never-ending eros and with the catchphrase: You are the woman of my life. Today, however, will have his new trophy and he was trembling at the thought of the secret that could be, if alone could be told.

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)
