I ask for their time. They ask for my body. I ask for gestures. They ask for movement. I ask for stories. They ask for fantasies. I ask for dreams. They ask for positions. I ask for words. They ask for curves. I ask for thoughts. They ask for fetishes. I ask for caresses. They ask for games. I ask for smiles. They ask for screams. I ask for everything. They ask for nothing. I always ask of them. They ask of me whenever. I ask for love. They ask for flesh. I give. They take. Take your clothes off, they now tell me. And I give in, reincarnating into a woman's naked body, ubiquitous and full of unbroken desire.
(Translated by Bianca-Maria Ciucașu / 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)
