I walk into the room and my wife's changing her clothes. She behaves as the virgin Eve, only her nakedness still represents her. I spot a pair of polka-dot panties on the radiator, I grab them quickly and got down on all fours, with the pair between my teeth. As she turned, she caught my big and strong buffalo gaze, with a grimace of a crazed dog in heat, the way in which I was lasciviously walking like a retired ballet dancer, and said in a scolding manner: Darling, what are you doing with my mom's panties in your mouth? Have you gone completely crazy? Poor woman, she forgot them here.
(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)
