They take their clothes off in silence, each on their side of the bed. Under the duvet, he caresses her voluptuous curves, and then, his tongue encircles her cheeky buds one by one. The door slams to the wall and there emerges a pair of pink pyjamas: we want to sleep here, in bed, with you. Princesses sleep in the princesses' room, daddy groaned in discontent, under the duvet. Disheartened, the girls urged to leave, although they changed their mind, going for their mommy: then mommy should come and read us a story. We want it now, now.
(Translated by Adelina-Maria Mănăilescu / 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 July 2022, the group has 8,750 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)
