Someone has written
Look at the sky on the wall facing the street. The large window has been closed for many years. The brushes are laid out to dry on the green windowsill. The fireplace never goes out, and there is no dust on the books, the piano, or the tobacco box. In the courtyard, a wall of white, thin, and lightweight bricks grows larger every day. The painter climbs it and adds branches and leaves. He takes joyful vertical steps, and he whistles as he works. On the nights with a full moon, he looks down at the city from above. It's becoming more and more beautiful.
(Translated by Lucia-Alexandra Brînaru-Mitrofan / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year II / 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 June 2023, the group has 11,430 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)
