Hey, Tanța, what have you been doing abroad? Meeting Gelu. Which Gelu? Gyula of Glad and Menumorut. Made a fool of myself. At the last incarnation he was left without shade. How come? Just like that, the Hungarians stole it from him. But he had a construction company, didn't he? Was friends with Arpad from Gilău, the one with the bridges.
Uh-huh. He so much liked the shooting with the bow. Who? Mark. Tanța, I know everything. Worked at an intimate salon and he was a client. Mark? Gelu. He liked a masochistic
balls-grabbing device. Screamed with pleasure. With the bow?
(Translated by Ecaterina Bucovanu / 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)
