The
Real Fiction Party has finally come to power. Homework is given nationally. They all try in the hope that they will be noticed by Florin Piersic Jr. who from the position of President has the bread and the knife. The prize is reading in the senate meeting and holiday visa in Greece. The reader's voice is that of Florin from
Killing Time, you have to like him and the party immediately, otherwise you die. His favorites are the ministers of health, finance and culture. I greet you from exile in Istanbul.
(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)
