since I blocked you. You bore me with your stupid jealousy: why do I give X a heart, why do I laugh at Y's jokes, why do I stay on the Mess with Z? Funny: I don't know your real name, but I know you even better than I know my husband. I know when you first had sex, what positions you prefer, what's in your boxers. I feel like you're following me from another profile, also fake. You're not Gelu Hamster anymore, you're probably called Gopher or BigRat. You've been set up. I'm no longer Rosa Sclerosis either. As of yesterday I'm Ina Felina.

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 April 2022, the group has 8,175 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)
