I've never had a dog. I had a female dog. In fact, I'm not really sure. Rather she had me. Or, I don't know. But I do know one thing. Every time I got home, she was happy. I'm sure of this. My wife, I don't know if she was too happy (I wish I was allowed to use ellipsis here, but, oh well), my
mother-in-law, even less (here too), my son was usually asleep, but she, Hannah, an angel of a dog, was always there, wagging her
cut-off tail. If I miss someone, I miss Hannah.
(Translated by Mălina Ioana Butaru / 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)
