... I read on the moringa door. He had made me an appointment all of a sudden. I enter and say, I have dedicated my life to You, Lord. And I hate you. You pay faith with suffering. I come with scratched knees in front of you and you turn away not to hear me. You don't care? You have the power to do anything, but you only create sick, sadistic worlds. Why? You only offer fairy tales about paradise and happiness, but you don't lift a finger when those who believe in you beg you. God, you are a great and almighty bastard, mad with the power you have. Enough. Dude, I'm Satan.
(Translated by Ecaterina Bucovanu / 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)
