Oh, mom, do you want to kill granny? How can you tell me to bring her wine and sweet bread? Pies and a bowl of butter? Outrageous. I may be young, but I know nutrition. Is granny a drunk, to want wine when she's ill? Can she eat sweets at her age and blood sugar? Butteeeer? Do you want her cholesterol to explode? Check the garden for some avocado, quinoa, artichokes, ginger, salmon, and make a healthy smoothie coupled with a fresh salad. I won't tell grandpa you want to kill her, so you can keep the house.
(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)
