I kissed her in a trance, smelling her hair; I felt the love run wildly out of my body. It was too late in the night to back down. Puckish as always, she left no cell untouched, diligently exploring me, and as her hand wend down below my Adonis belt, I hear the question. Romanian kiwi? She couldn't help herself. Her lecherous jokes didn't match her style, but that's what made her special. We both giggled like two idiot preteens and kept making love, as if trying to spite life.
(Translated by Bianca Ioana Prisecaru / 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)
