Tell me everything. He took you to that fancy restaurant for dinner in the dark? He took me, said V. You were ready, I hope, for what you suspected was coming. More than ready, honey. I'd shaved with that cream you got me, you know, the one that smells like fresh whipped cream. Oh, yeah. And? We laughed a lot because, nah, we were trying to give each other a bite of dessert. At one point I felt the tablecloth move. A soft tongue was running up and down my calves. And what did you say? Honey, you didn't have anyone to leave the dog with?
(Translated by Cristina-Nicoleta Costache (Mircea) / 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)
