That's how I inherited it. Spacious high rise with room for guests, coffee galore. I got it and it came with calculations, reports and a closet. With shirts. Because I have meetings galore. In the other one I bought, which is much smaller, it's much warmer and the tie doesn't stick to my neck. Don't look at me like I'm a freak, please don't. I didn't know how to get a Gaudi house with numbers and unicorns on the front. I'll leave you to it, I don't have time, luckily there's the Home station between the two of them, not far away, where I sleep a little.

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 2023, the group has 11,260 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, Luchian Abel, and Vlad Mușat. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
