Stop the car, she suddenly calls out to him. I want you to take my picture. Look, I want to be naked in this colorful field. Why naked? Because I'm not only a mother, I'm also a woman. Come on, stop the car and follow me. I'll take off my clothes and dive into the yellow flowers. You watch me, listen. Don't forget that this body gave birth to your child, nursed it, but is still full of desire. Like a flower endlessly seeking its sun. Now touch me with your eyes that got used to me. Yes, touch me only with them.
(Translated by Cătălina Colibaba / 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 2023, the group has 11,260 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, Luchian Abel, and Vlad Mușat. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
