Go away. I took everything from you. She was her friend, hand in hand with her husband, in their house. She undressed herself to show that she doesn't need anything. She wasn't ashamed anymore. He had preferred someone devoid of feelings only for a millimetre of nude skin in addition. She seized his last word, she covered herself with it as if it were a cloak and she left to play poker with fate. In the middle of the street the shadows were dancing the hora of the fairies. Revange is within you, they whispered. And life. She came back inside the house and puked all over them with the grin of a woman who had inside her womb the royal flush.
(Translated by Jessica-Polixenia-Cristiana Copilaș / 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 May 2023, the group has 11,260 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, Luchian Abel, and Vlad Mușat. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
