I am not sick, I don't have a damn. I am lucid, I have judgement, 2 times 4 is eight, The French Revolution-1789-lithium is a alkali metal, what do you want more? Four brothers, at school we ate bread with vegeta (vegetable margarine), at night we stole wood from the depot, until I was 18 I didn't got new shoes, what do you know about it? I haven't take them out of the box, I like knowing that I have them, all of them are mine and all new. Three vacuum cleaners, yes. So what? This week I only bought one egg slicer, only that, I swear. Hug me, I'm cold.
(Translated by Camelia Băluţă / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year I / Corrected by Silvia Petrescu, coordinator of the translations)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 May 2021, the group has 6.400 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, and Luchian Abel. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
