Stop here, bro, we've got the best sight. Oh God she's so hot and look at those lungs she's got broo. Sweetie, you've got such steps knitting needles, I swear. Did you get the sunflower seeds? Yeah, those good ones with variegated seed grain. Good as heck those. Look at these crazy girls are running a lot, look at the other ones. Wait a second, the gazelles are coming. Girls, aren't you thirsty? We going from Coke to Fanta? They're not noticing us, these sad corporatists. Bambina, if you give us your number you get two. Come on, princess, let's drink something, we've even got popcorn.

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)
