I don't know what others think, but we believe in it together. The younger ones are called Oa, the older ones are called Om, and the older ones, Of. In the morning, we learn to read, talk, and dream freely. At noon we eat without dreams and our clothes always suit is good. In the evening we sit barefoot through the grass and lick the sky on the stick. At night, it always smells like thin cinnamon. Water and earth help us work. The stars help sharpen our spirits, and the air, help us have skin. We are a tribe, and we live by the Rule of Pure and Simple.
(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)
