And so it was. The dacian children of the group anointed the DJ in Inter, in their world of Kentane and exclusive N

Tonight's the night with
Smooth Operator dance moves. When he left, a waiter greeted him.
Live long, he said, raising a hand. In this epic and triumphant moment of great accomplishments, a ZBANG broke the silence of closure. A freshly unscrewed toilet seat that he had put around his waist, was staying relaxed in the middle of the dance floor.

(Translated by Ioana Negrea / 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)
