Well, what are you doing, neighbor? Can't you see you parked it in my parking spot? Am I calling the police again? This is the second time this week. Don't roll your eyes anymore. I understand that you have the yard occupied with the rover you stole from the earthlings , but that's not my problem. Ay, did you bring a blonde girl with you again? You like these. Luckily, your wife is gone to Andromeda, otherwise you would be in trouble again. Mine do not even want to hear about Earth. Listen. Won't you take me with you next time? And I'll let you park it here. I want to go again in their ferris wheel.

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)
