Floricaaaaa, come on, girl, wipe the eyes of the day to come with a smattering of smiles, pick up the buds of wisdom of the day gone and put them there in the sack, spread them out as far as you can from now on, as far as the eye can see, over the hills and under the clear sky, until the sun rises and shook from the porch a clear canvas over the whole garden back to the cone, then stream me in a path the giddy flow of the world with peace inside and gather the fence that separates them.
(Translated by Ana-Maria Mușetescu / 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 December 2021, the group has 7.750 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)
