His stare scanned the horizon, with the left eye. The right one we don't know where it was looking. He dribble a player, than another one and another one, shot and it would have been goal. But here it is not champions league, it is the early elections section, where paranormal voters are coming to anticipate for a few money who will win. The candidate came out in front of the newcomer with a big smile. The voting stamp was been sent on the left side. The voter was trying to shoot at the corner of the ballot box, hitting the board president. Fault without doubt.

Corvinul has been a big football team. Now is reborn and play in the second league. We love it the same way. I am sad I can't be there today, when it is a big game. I understand that this sounds strange to you that you do not know were Romania is on the map, much less Hunedoara, but you talked about your team, I say this sipping beer in the pub, in a London downtown. My team has Elton John as a supporter, who's your team's supporter? It has 55.000 supporters as very determined Elton Jhon plus legends like Mișa Klein[1] . What names did your team give, because you play piano well for a football team.


[1] Mișa Klein was a Romanian footballer of German ethnicity.

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)
