Lucifer is a woman, only a woman could come up with the idea that she is equal to her God and be expelled from the conjugal home. Moreover, since then HE is very embittered and drinks his ambrosia every night at the Rapsodia bar in a neighborhood in Romania, because only they keep the Bacchic spirit awake at such late hours. And as HE sat small like a hermit, crooked by unlove, SHE appears and invites him to her new home in her Realm. HE goes, because HE had been there in 1914 and 1939. Now it was 2024.
(Translated by Alin-Marian Mărgescu / 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)
