Oh come on, that's all he said? Yeah. And he turned out to be one of those moneybags? Yeah. You want to tell me that I've been doing this all of my life and all I get is coffee, and you, after just one month on the market, have already made it? Yes, my mother told me that I'm a jammy sod. Well, you don't know the whole thing: I was at a party in that fancy club where you said you didn't want to go because you didn't want to pay to blow rich guys. When he told me he would buy me with a coffee, I raised my eyebrows, turned towards the bar and ordered a coffee for myself. Then he said: a coffee, a house, a car and an army of servants.
(Translated by Ruxandra Adriana Dodoiu / 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)
