After not even three months the twins Do and Doq left us. After another two months, Remi had to leave, too. His lungs had not grown. Fasi and Solla had the same skull, so after not even a month they had to leave, too. There was only me until the end of the primordial howl. The first born of the inconceivable of this world. A lump of delusions in the shell of my soul waiting impatiently to come out. I sometimes meet my brothers in my dreams, too. But nearly always in reality. Schizophrenia.
(Translated by Iuliana Mocanu / 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 July 2022, the group has 8,750 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)
