You'll do as you please anyway. I gave you commandments on what to do and what not to do. I wrote them down on a tablet for you, so you'll remember them. On two tablets, because you're forgetful. I sent down the shaggy guy to show your the truth, the bearded guy to write the book for you, the smiley guy to show you the middle path. From the point where my tear fell down your wickedness you search with your spyglass and look for the primordial spark. Go figure, the big bang. That was the
little spark, when I lit up the cig I was going to smoke with Lucy. You're foul, I'm going to sneeze.
(Translated by Constantin Istrate / 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 May 2022, the group has 8,350 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)
