You mister, write more legibly so that those who will read it ages from now could understand. Let them rejoice when they hear from the Evangelist read. At least until the twenty-first century, and then they'll see if they still need writing. Twenty-one after Christ, yes. You'll see later who Christ is, we're not there yet. Come on, are you done writing? In capital letters, "HE", what's so hard about taking dictation? The Holy Spirit, that's me. My God, you sound like a doctor, not a prophet.

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 May 2022, the group has 8,350 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)
