In our tribe, you will find the best endowed men. Women from all over the world come to admire the masculinity, the muscles, the vigour, or the sharpness of those of our tribe. You can't help but find pictures of us on the internet, when there's a white woman smiling in the middle of a black tribe, it's us. They all come to admire our facilities. After all, they truly have something to see. We are
well-equipped. Not that we brag, but here in the middle of the Kalahari Desert, we have electricity, internet, hot water, and so on.
(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)
