Everything is green, filled with forests, grass, butterflies. Beautiful stags with their
crown-horns were walking their greatness through the kingdom, theirs, again. The rivers stir at dawn and tell tales at sunset. The
bear-cubs are playing in their father's Kingdom. The grandfather clock sounds rusty. The baby wakes up. The nanobots within the blood vessels was about to give the
wake-up call. The consciousness takes off on 5G to school. The toaster yells in its head. The parents' settlement who were decommissioned gave off smoke in distance.
(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)
