Do you think I'm stupid to tell you about it? Being secretive, it's like it doesn't exist. Shut your trap, quiet, silenzio stampa. If I were to say just a word about this club, I would have to put a stamp on the text with the inscription secret. That's in writing, because reading is even worse. Do you have an ORNISS certificate? You don't? Well, who else reads it to me and who else lays it down for me? The bad thing is that my wife also applied for ORNISS. Otherwise, how would she know to wait for me at dawn, when I was leaving the club with that
super-hot babe?
(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)
