You are good for nothing, yo. Not even the fart and the burb are not OK. Street sweeper is written on your forehead. Come hear to hell and spread bird faces, learn from this hens because its are wiser. Since then Petre buried in night. To listen to the mind, not the punch. Today is DAYLIGHT at last. He took the residency. In the rear-view mirror he saw the tear remained in the deep wrinkle. Peter smiles. He spread the hate at the same time with the bird faces. Father you will enjoy the time at us.

He saw her at the dark end of the corridor with wooden walls and he already knew what she was going to say to him, because she was saying the same things that didn't bore him, but he liked to listen to her voice with smell of silence even without hearing the meaning of the words. And in another corner of his mind she looked at him in return and waited for him to come closer so that he could start telling her what he had to say. Like every time he spoke to her with similar words at the goodbyes at the end of the corridor with dark wooden walls.

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 April 2024, the group has 12,860 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)
