And so it was. The dacian children of the group anointed the DJ in Inter, in their world of Kentane and exclusive No5s. He hummed all night Tonight's the night with Smooth Operator dance moves. When he left, a waiter greeted him. Live long, he said, raising a hand. In this epic and triumphant moment of great accomplishments, a ZBANG broke the silence of closure. A freshly unscrewed toilet seat that he had put around his waist, was staying relaxed in the middle of the dance floor. Gangsta's Paradise? No, Tragedy.

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)
