From then on, someone will be paying attention to me, whatever, to my physique. Nobody ever checked me out. Therefore, let them study me, let them have me at their exam, those who won't weigh my heart with their own pretty hands will fail, it is smaller, it is not used to it. I'll be laughing my head off, when I'll see so many smart people asking themselves questions about me, especially that all my life not a single dork has done that. I am both freaky and picky, but I would certainly not accept a stupid one, perhaps only for an affair, at least for one night stand and a little bit more.

We are talking here of a strong body, well-balanced and lithe body, that enthusiasts recognize and appreciate. From the first visual contact, it reveals an elegant depth, carefully constructed and focused. The aftertaste impression may seem dense, slightly heavy, but the well-ripened refinement sweetens any apprehension. The connoisseurs will relish its unique flavor of selected, late picked fruits. Allow yourself to be consumed at leisure, with respect to the science of pre-fermentation maceration and with due appreciation to the purity of a noble vine Merlot.

I am the wealthiest man in the world. All this life I've made fortunes. I can have anything which is counted in money. I'll donate everything to a research institute. This will start a war among the heirs, unfortunately for them, they will not have a choice. The matter is planned in such way there is no turning back. You'll laugh, but I wish nothing but a clay pot. My body is worthless, it'll be completely burned. The show is planned down to the last detail. I shall fly to the four corners of the world. News: X left an empty urn.

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 2024, the group has 13,100 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)
