Songs were filling the room up to the sky from inside, leaving behind a sorrow thought and stopped at His peachy cheeks. The drums were playing tirelessly, spreading all the clouds in four directions, thus leaving the rays of the sun to reach the hair of a child that was holding into his arms a small
black-nosed friend. What brought you here, boy, he asked out of nowhere, and one second later, he felt on his cheeks the touch of a pigeon's wing. My mom told me that only Grandpa loves more Azorel than me. So I hurried to take the dog to Him.
(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)
