My brother says it's stupid, but I won't go out until I hear my astral prediction, you could say my day starts well with Neti. She said today I would be renovating something around the house. So after work I wiped the dust off. It's not really a renovation, but it's something, if the stars say so, we have to comply with them. It's harder when they say I'm going on vacation. I can't tell why the stars are a bit confused, I haven't gone on vacation since I can't remember. Maybe they don't have the power to send us all on vacation, it might have something to do with the ascendant.
(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)
