Not that I don't understand their stupid language, but they're so sweet when they goof off and try to teach me stuff. I have to sit with my ears open to their romenglish. Anyway, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to get me out of here, because in two days I'll be back on the streets. Freedom, bro, nightlife, overturned bins, chicks are everywhere. Hey, Man-Man, take me home with you, can't you see we're pedigree mates? High five, bro.
(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)
