She told me she was sick of the routine, so I arranged a midnight escapade. First, we went to Brâncuși, where we had our first kiss. At Serge Gainsbourg I firstly told her I loved her, towards Sartre and de Beauvoir I asked her to get a divorce. By Baudelaire, she told me didn't believe in monogamy. Towards the exit, she started crying hysterically while telling me how disappointed she was because she was expecting to get to Jim Morrisson and Proust. But they are on the other side, I told her.
Mais je m'en fous, she told me and gone she was.
(Translated by Liliana Popescu / 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 November 2021, the group has 7.500 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, and Luchian Abel. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
