The year in which the Return from Heaven occurred. Finally, at Hamangia, the concentration ended and, coming out of the clay, they all went to Bucura, where the blue eye had warmed from the
long-awaited suns. On Ceahlău the heel fought alone and in the Sphinx the lost lynx eyes lit up. In the great euphoria, the Babes chose their people, Sânzienele (Romanian gentle fairies) chirped, saved, on the streets, the Trovanții bore strawberries, and Călin told everything on scribbled pages with a silver wild boar corner from an immemorial century.
(Translated by Emilia-Georgiana Călinescu / 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)
