Are you really telling me this just now? To write more clearly, because that's why people don't heal? Doctor's writing? It was true that I didn't have a high grade in calligraphy. Does it work on the computer? Healed. Ego te absolvo. What's wrong? Why aren't they all healthy in both, mind and body? Lost in translation? Wait, wait. Who is that OCD writer who has written 2 x 365 (and still counting) pandemics? Was it a pangolin? And does it count? I hear another madman is rewriting as we speak war and peace. How many billions of doctors do we need to write in unison HEALED to the sick world to become a reality?

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)
