Works for me. Even with multiples. For example, I always get my period in 26 days. You say this is not bad luck? Believe it or not, but on those days, I miss out on the coolest dates. If I put, say, 650 beans in the soup, I get terribly bloated. When I pass the huge villa at 39, I turn my head so I don't see the number and cross the street, lest any pot fall. For a while, it started working with submultiples too. I'm meeting a cool guy today. I'm sure he has a 6.5 length. Haha, inches, you say? God, let it be so.

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 February 2023, the group has 10,500 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)
