Add (Fiction) to the title, otherwise it’s misleading.

1989, and it certainly isn't fiction.

We just didn't have Twitter back then.

But scores of FTP/NNTP servers rushed out the photos, of which many have seen.

What makes you think it is fiction?

Tank Man[1] is still one of the most powerful photographs ever taken IMHO.

The futility of staring down a line of T-59 tanks with nothing more than a couple of plastic bags is just so universally human.

That gesture is never going to be forgotten and never going to be erased.
