The printer? It works. The ad? It's ready. I wrote it myself, I swear, no kidding. Yeah, completely original, how else? Okay. Where do you want it posted? Everywhere, in stairwells, on lampposts, but especially at Mc. Age preferences? Well, no, but to be you know, not very mature, you know, I like young girls. It's gonna cost you extra, because we have preferential rates. How do you pay? Cash, please. Here's the final ad: I'm looking for a serious young lady, to call the interphones and then run away.
(Translated by Bianca-Maria Marinescu / 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 April 2022, the group has 8,175 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)
