I composed memorable verses. Yor eyes is two blackberries, no one wants to steal them. It's about the feminine element and the connection with flowers, through the subtle evocation of the linden tree. Also remarkable is the savoury combination of sweetness, but also a little acrid, in the eyes of the loved one. The predicate in the singular shows the consubstantiality of the eyes, which are the same. The fact that no one wants to steal them, especially in our country, may beg the logical question of how ripe blackberries are.
(Translated by Andreea Tobă / 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 December 2021, the group has 7.750 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)
