This would always happen to me when coming home. I was trying to push my strength to my legs as if someone has beaten me and they didn't recognize me as being their owner and preferred to stay behind as a long dress. Listen, do you have receiepte for these porcini mushrooms?, a voice leaning on a beech tree was talking to me. Has anyone allowed you to take these? Hey, you! The receiepte? Well, the voice uncovered at first an ear, I was joking, I don't want a sloppy friend. Just a friend. A caring one.
(Translated by Luciana-Maria Buruiană / 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)
