Yo, I picked this book 'cause I thought it was corny and gets me to sleep, but guess what, it's full of sex. I was already tired and burning with fever - I was the perfect critic. Well, he and she, with a frantic desire to recreate the night of wild sex they'd had the year before, get to his place - this is when she gets slightly out of
mood: the guy is licking and sucking on her neck, she's staring like a poor girl at the lamps, floors, and furniture with leather and velvet. He's pressing her against the wall, she's admiring the fireplace. Well, you didn't come here for luxury and opulence, did you?
(Translated by Oana-Roxana Dicilea / 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 May 2022, the group has 8,350 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)
