The wolf was wearing the Moschino
t-shirt with a bear on it because he had changed his hair, but he didn't change his habits. Miss Little Riding Hood had taken off her cloak and was in her shiny latex suit, boringly putting nail polish on. The hunter was bent over on the couch, drinking from his 2 liters bottle of
Noroc beer, not having a care in the world. Grandma was going all out on her intermittent fasting, relishing her wine and coffee, my dears. They were all united by their big, empty eyes, staring at their phones, searching for sadder life stories than their own. Click.
(Translated by Marius-Alin Lazăr / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year II / 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 October 2021, the group has 7.275 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)
