You can take these in case of anxiety. Try them for a few days and then we'll see. For insomnia, take the other ones I prescribed you on Thursday, when you said the ones I prescribed last month didn't help. Don't mix them up with the ones for depression because you'll become lethargic and I just gave you something for lack of energy. I also jotted down here that the husband travels often, kids have started college,so feel like you have a cold heart. I hope it helps. There may be side effects. Although they depend on the person. Have a nice day.

He was nostalgic for the days of winning the high school guessing game, the one with the apples or pears ready to tame. The charms he'd cast until he'd feel up the one the dice fell on! Or the nerds, these were covered up to the neck and you could hardly see anything, but he managed and then along with the boys they made rankings and exchanged fruit with each other. One of them literally left him with no breath, because she got what it took, but not like the others, and his knees grew weak and he choked a bit. He kept this one off the table, in the pole position in the melons category.

You repeat the lines. You rehearse with partners. You rehearse in costume. You rehearse on set. You rehearse with the lights on. But no one teaches you how to rehearse with emotion. When you forget the lines on stage, it's like you're at the beach between forbidden hours. The spotlights become a burning sun. And you don't have sunscreen on you. It feels even worse when you're performing a classical play and everyone in the room knows the script. No one thinks you can forget famous lines. So I opened my mouth in fear. To have or not to have, that is the question?

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 July 2023, the group has 11,540 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)
