Do you see that shining thing from the sky? Which one? That blue little point, and he showed it with his left hand because the right one is under my shirt. What to see, the sky is regularly lit, the stars are in their place, and he is a romantic dumb. His hand gets down on my belly and with our eyes after the planes, he pulls down my zipper. Now, do you see it? He is not a bad boy, but he doesn't know to communicate. I don't see it, screw it and look at me, the stars are already dead, but I'm alive. You know what, we don't vibrate the same, let's go home because it's late and tomorrow we have an exam.
(Translated by Cristina-Nicoleta Costache (Mircea) / 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)
