I apologize with the might of all the galaxy for this unannounced visit, but know that we have a good reason. A channel of communication has been broken, and your thoughts, most unsuitable for the Earth, end up growing like huge weeds on our sphere which, as we know, is a sphere in the mirror. Our planetarians, who are in charge of maintaining cleanliness, can barely cope. We just came to warn you now, but be aware that if history repeats, we will have to take you to work with us for the benefit of the community.
(Translated by Alexandra Cica / 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)
