BonBon braided her hair into two pigtails, said her prayer and climbed into bed.She adjusted her blanket and blew out the candle.A whimper came from under the bed. She sighed, lit the candle, got down, crawled under the bed and said: all right, we'll sleep at your place tonight. There was a cheerful hihi and a delicious bundle of fur with huge eyes rolled into her arms. The little girl stroked his little pink ears, laid a kiss on his wet nose and said:tomorrow we'll put you in our pocket and go for a walk; it's cleaning day and we don't want you to get wet.
(Translated by Raluca Ioana Crucerescu / 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 June 2022, the group has 8,500 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)
