My dear nephew, even if you never met me ( I immigrated to the USA when you were almost one year old), I'm writing you now, when my days are ending. The doctors announced to me that I have to live three weeks at most. I'm alone, I don't have a family or kids, so I'll leave you my wealth of 20 million dollars. To enter the possession of the money you only have to send me the small amount of 500 dollars (notarial tax), in the account mentioned below. With love, aunt Tamara hugs you.
(Translated by Maria Cătălina Moisescu / 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)
