He was drooling in satisfaction, for he had dozens of affairs. Now he began sorting them while singing with my iPhone and my steed, I'm hunting down some chicks, cause there must be lots indeed. He was searching for fillies, which were the gullible sort, pretty and lustful. He used to avoid those old mares with their large hindquarters and extensive life experience. One of those had given him a licking once, hence he grew cautious. He was about to set up a date with a dun-coloured kind, when his wife called out his name, trotting her way towards him. He had not finished his Easter cleaning.

I've made my own social for dating and stuff, as they call all those pretexts for sex. It is still the same old left-right swipe, but I use pages instead. This app is my new library, where I can hook up with titles at will. There are two doors which only open when I grab those handles, which are as pointed as a pair of black nipples. I make love to the books till the showcase fogs up on the inside. I push it against the wall. It blows my mind, but now it has silicon protection. I attached it.

Before the Hell Council, everybody trembled and looked down. Everything is going like clockwork, grinned Beelzebub, we've finally got inside everyone's mind. We're consuming their time and attention. It won't take us long to defeat our enemy. The online divison is doing ok, but those of you dealing with news and porn, beware, the social apps tear you apart. What's Tinder? A little fellow, your Dark Majesty, said Aamon, a sly greenhorn he is, and he does his job, but seasonally, especially during spring time. He's Vali's counter. Now, urchin, hold your hormones and get down to business. Yes, master.

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 April 2024, the group has 12,860 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)
