Baby, do you love me? I adore you. I would do anything for you. Anything? Would you bring me some stars? I would even bring you the Moon, not only some stars. No. I don't want the Moon. The night would be too dark and you know I'm afraid of the dark. Okay, then I would bring you five stars and put them in your hair. My queen. Oh, you are so romantic, my love. You're lucky I don't want stars either. Then tell me what you want. My life, apple of my eye? I would like a kilogram of cherries. Look, you're asking for too much now.
(Translated by Bianca-Andreea Rîmboacă / 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)
