I'm a sensible person. I like art. I hate lying and hypocrisy. I go to the gym. I love animals and travelling. My most favourite writer is Paulo Coelho and the most disliked is Mircea Cărtărescu. Every night I admire myself and pray for World peace. I don't eat meat. Lies hurt me the most. I like upbeat attitudes, pink and purple. I love spring and, of course, clothes sales. Hey, Mărin, these are making you reincarnate into a valley girl.
(Translated by Daniela-Andreea Gugescu / 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)
