I talked with my father's doctor today. He told me not to get him vaccinated. Well, what did he say? That I should get him vaccinated because this way is for the best. Especially since he also has diabetes and a stroke. Well, you said not to get him vaccinated. Yes, when I told him that my father doesn't want to get vaccinated he told me that it's really bad. I no longer understand anything. Well, when I told him that I heard that he could develop thrombosis, the doctor told me that everyone decides for himself, that I asked for his advice and he gave it to me. So, just to get clear: he told me not to get him vaccinated. Why are you confusing me like this?
(Translated by Ioana Negrea / 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 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)
