They say that you come from the land and that you return to it. It sucks, the Bible. Since we have been born on the Moon, the saying for us would be something like "we come from the Moon, to a Moon we return". If that's the case, the morgues wronged the prayer. But, I wonder, how about those coming from Mars? You come from Mars, you go to hell. My shift's boring. I wonder what movie they're playing on the 20Monday tomb. Oh, Exodus from Mars. Nice, this Iliescu who splits the land in two to bury two files. Electoral advertisement, once again. Iohannis, you're land. Fuck off.
(Translated by Liliana Popescu / 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)
