Audience day in Hollow Office. Wife number 75 shall enter. Mighty Boss Corleone IScanEverything, when will you grant your permission for that contest of Miss FallingLeave? I know that you are extremely busy with doing nothing, but we must find a wife to the little one so that he won't stay a billy goat. Rumour has it that lately he has been boosting his morale into the straw during night time. He lost his interest in hunting, he is apathetic, and he lost both his zen and his

(Translated by Roberta Ana-Maria Gulerez / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year I / 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)
