Let's have something sweet too, but not with sugar because it's poisonous for the body, better with dried fruits. The meat, definitely antibiotic-free. The chickens should be range-free, not the kind that are kept in a henhouse, one on top of the other. Running shoes, but definitely a brand that uses recycled plastic and an organic cotton t-shirt, otherwise I get itchy. Oh, and three kiwis from our own country. Our own? Yes, dear. I heard that. They're sprinkled with healing water. For the kids, Ritalin, because they've been bugging me since yesterday.

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 June 2023, the group has 11,430 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)
