Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction.

to notice and misconstrue to his own detriment.
What if the slip-up, he thought in terror, was not in the content of the message but on the container? On the SMS itself, that is, regardless of what it actually said?

Chapter 11
Babis, before he had even sent the SMS to her but also afterwards, was very much interested in anything that concerned her, and very concerned with what interest-ed her so if Google was a goldmine mainly for what-ever concerned her, Facebook had to be the Ali Baba cave for whatever primarily interested her. Surfing as soon as he got home, through the former, scrutiniz-ing it, he found out that she hadn’t been feeding him stories: she was indeed in the Human Resources man-agement team of a well-known multinational corpora-tion. He calculated her age based on how long it had been since she’d graduated from Panteion University. She was a lot older than he had originally thought, and, therefore, the age difference between them was far less abyssal than what he originally feared. That was something at least. Strange. She hadn’t deemed it necessary to mention that she had taken part in tango competitions, the Athens Marathon, or that she had a PhD, from the University of Chicago on the topic of “Ethical Altruism versus Rational Egoism, Lais-sez-Faire Capitalism and Individual Rights in Ayn Rand; A Meta-Ethical Approach.”

- Well, he’s thinking, maybe if I gave her a chance…you never know...
- Panteion University and working for a multi-national corporation doesn’t exactly pair up.
- You’re still stuck in the past when Panteion was a hub for rebels

“What’s with this obsession with Ayn Rand!” he yelled, unable to restrain himself.
Lola’s Facebook wall belonged in the increasingly widespread category of Facebook walls that was any-thing but a Facebook wall. It was a dazibao15 political platform, manifesto, a brochure and credo all in one, with her every post being a position, an opposition, a proclamation, a flaunt, a demonstration, a perfor-mance, a cry of protest, a denunciation, sarcasm, libel, a striptease, an unmasking, a catfight, a pie in the face, but, most of all, a sign which either wanted to say
