He pulled her closer while penetrating her slowly and carefully. He liked feeling every centimetre of her wetness. Her hot body was arching under his rough hands. He loved her more than anything. She was his first love. Before he met her he had met only prostitutes paid by the hour. She was the first woman who dared to love him with no questions. She turned him from a drunken vagabond to this hard-working man with rough hands. Not even he realised how much power she had over him.
(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 February 2023, the group has 10,500 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)
