After I'd walked around the whole crowds of the city, I discovered at the end of the day that I'd lost my wallet. My never ending curse phrases was interrupted by the voice of a boy telling me,
miss, miss, you've lost your wallet. I was in shock looking once at him, once at his furry friend that looked more exhausted by having run so much. Both of them looked at me with their faces full of dirt in an innocent way. The child gave me the wallet and I asked him what he would like to eat. Yes,

(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)
