1 plus 1 equals three. Sometimes four. If you don't believe me, I invite you to the obstetrics-gynaecology department. Although sometimes the sky is up and the earth is down, it can be accurately said that those who live with their heads in the clouds, also walk on dry land. Even though there is no physical God, physics says that if the ratio of the electromagnetic force to the universal force were not at one percent, life would not exist. What are the chances of this happening on its own? I don't know, but this precision makes it at least logical to conclude that there is a creator. Isn't that so?
(Translated by Andreea Laura Stanca / 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)
