I no can with three legz, we run doing hop and they laugh when they see us and tell us lame dog. Play my brothers with kids of all, I no can run, hamper I and fall. Bad kids ain't good, it's ugly and I know it, lame on me he made, I loved on them ain't. Bad on me a big rock hit me in the feet, I cried and lay, thinking I was dying. Bite me once on them by the leg that we run. Let him see how it is with bitches, the hearts is good and we are not like them.
(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 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)
