The phone from the left is orange. The phone from the right is orange. The paint of the cabin from the left is peeling. The paint of the cabin from the right is peeling. The phone cabin from the left is blue and has the aspect of a cage. The phone cabin from the right is blue and has the aspect of a cage. In front of the cabin from the left, on the pavement there is a long row, which seems to be a lifelong shop. In front of the cabin from the right on the pavement there is no one. The phone from the left works with coins. The phone from the right accepts dreams.
(Translated by Teodora Stoian / 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)
