As soon as I walk in I notice three blonde girls, all of them belonging to the feline typology. Hi, I say timidly. The blondies lift their eyes from the ground and scan me from head to toe. Hey... says the first one. For the movie? Yeah... I mumble. Hmm says the second one You're clearly not for the starring role. It's for blondes only. Much younger... says the third one and they all giggle like three drunken muses. Tarantino shows up. Oana, come in first, please, to play the role with Brad. I ran straight towards him but somehow, I remain still. I can't move. Alarm. Snooze. Brad? Alarm. Snooze.
(Translated by Ana Spînu / 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)
