Fiction is a story or novel or any document that is not historical or essentially true in any way. It can be completely creative and contain subjects that doesn’t actually exist like a flying car with wings. Some can be very realistic and have many connections to the real world but had never actually happened in real life. Walter Dean Myers is an author who writes a lot of realistic fiction. Slam for example is realistic in all its ways but it is certainly fiction because the characters and events that take place in the story never existed.
