Tell me, please. He comes home everyday with his breath taken, he embraces me, he kisses me passionately. He always hangs the red rose on his belt, on his back to surprise me. His eyes are shining with joy and the pleasure of my touch melts his heart. He's tattooing my lips with passion. Do you think that all the couples love each other that much as we do and have sex every day, even after so many years? Mrs. Stana, I will prescribe you two more drugs today. The maximum dosage. It seems that you have also developed a mental illness in the meantime.
(Translated by Georgiana Morozii / 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 2023, the group has 11,430 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)
