You must undress to get in, the blonde receptionist whispered, amused by his confusion. Then he took off his blue kimono and began serving the drinks. The light of the chandeliers shone bizarrely on her Rubensian body. The smell of opium was getting more and more dizzying. Andrei decided abruptly. He began to take off his clothes with calculated movements, but stopped in awe. In two strokes and three movements he gets dressed again and jumps out the door. In one corner of the living room, his parents were talking relaxed with auntie Ilinca. All 3 butt naked.

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)
