Rest assured, we guarantee absolute discretion here. To put it bluntly, even your neighbor takes part in this sometimes. It is silent, nothing transpires, just as the prosecutor asked of us. Which one? You know him very well. Nobody finds out from us that the doctor is still coming here. But she's not coming with her husband. Everything is very secretive. Yes, the minister is not participating, he is just watching. We do not disclose anyone's identity. You know, everyone's intimate preferences must be respected. For example, you don't want me to tell you about the Priest. Yes, I tell you.
(Translated by Andreea-Alexandra Șerbănescu / 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)
