It didn't work out at all with Virgo. She said the time had not come yet, she still wanted to think about it. I got on well with Cancer up to a point, when she started backing down. Maybe it's not what she needs, she doesn't want to come upstairs to my place. With Pisces it worked best. Until money came in the picture. She became elusive and gone she was. I tried with Libra, but it was hard. Now it was yes, later it was no. Seriously, don't you know someone who could wash my windows? The horoscope says I get on well with all signs today.
(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)
