I fucked, but I also raised the children. Seeing them in their neat shirts, lined up to go to school. We don't just create more population, we do education. The teacher is the blonde safari girl with whom I used to whiten my nights spent with the black women. She gave birth to a curly blonde child. Children are so cute, with their white teeth and backpacks. I still don't understand what
molobongo means. But they laugh and are happy. A mulatto little girl gave me her pencil and called me Daddy. It softened my heart. And life.
(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)
