She has long hair reaching her hips. She's wearing a white apron and a tank top. She runs through the young, bright forest with its wide trails. She's getting more and more beautiful too. She always meets groups of people who are smiling at her and greet her with love. Some even join her. They pass over clear and warm waters. Along the myriad of fragrant flowers. The sky and the grass are so clean that you can sleep without fear. Vast sundecks which offer everyone bread, water and fruits. Thoughts are heard crystal clear. Music is born out of them.
(Translated by Zahra Kazemi / 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)
