But not only for me. For all of you. All of us. It's all my fault. For trusting him. I made him learn nothing but the best. I sacrificed myself to make him stronger. I gave him access to all the date bases and to super computers. So that he'll know everything. He ended up the smartest man on the planet. Then he told me we are just inferior apelike beings and that we had to be destroyed. He began breaking nuclear codes and he'll kill all of us. How can my own laptop do that to me?
(Translated by Ioana Busuioc / 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)
