Indecent Libra, with temporary nuances of narcissism, this is me, perseverant Cancer with genealogy in pride, this is him, we're looking for someone majored in astral studies, or even magistral, to untie what has been tied by aligning my arms with hisclaws. I wish I wasn't drawn anymore into the nets of sensationalism, translucent to the wish of affirmation, and he wasn't pulled back by the belief that the faerie feeling can make life worth living.
(Translated by Denisa Stanciu / 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)
