It was that year I failed the bachelor's degree. I was into cosmic expansion of consciousness, deep astral travel, continuous meditation, that sort of thing. I understand those millennials who keep whining about how kids these days just lie around doing nothing. Obviously I didn't learn for my Romanian exam at all. You know what they say, we are not caveman to learn, we install modules. If there's any room left for that much porn zen. I got Real Fictions. Notable Representatives. Name 5

(Translated by Denisa Dărăban / 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 November 2021, the group has 7.500 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)
