Tarot Madam tell me what you see, we have a group theme that kills us all. Well, I see a king of swords who stabbed you without any malice. Oh God, look at the Tower, that means death, but it's good. The tower comes to destroy naturally all that is not good; divine justice. You die a little and come back in about three days. In the meantime, love another moment, a year, a season, take the light and confess to Father Doromete who gives you a review at the diptych. You are saved and inspired. Amen.

(Translated by Laura-Elena Dobrin / 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 June 2022, the group has 8,500 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)
