After constantly insisting, we secured funding. We can proceed with the project. Day 400. The research is highly developed. Day 700. Almost done. We still have some uncertainties to figure out. Day 6000. We are basically done with the theoretical side. We are going to move onto the supplying stage for the experiment. Day 6666. We need more money. Day 8000. We have all the parts. Day 8200. We're ready. Tomorrow is the big day. Time traveling will be demonstrated. Day 8201. I think we should have set a time jump in the future, not the past. Day 1.
(Translated by Diana Pașcanu / 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)
