The first time it happened I was in the 8th grade, I think. I wrote a poem, I don't remember what it was about, but it was like Christmas without a Christmas tree. That Christmas we didn't have a tree. I thought it was just a coincidence. In high school, I used to go to poetry readings, and I loved to shock. I wrote a piece about a baby being ripped from its womb. Then I didn't write for a long time. After college, I wrote again, but this time about the Great Love. And so it was. For the last year or so, I've been writing about how I get the roles of my life both in the theater and in Hollywood.
(Translated by Andreea Tobă / 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)
