We hooked up in an elite bar. Biturice Bar. This is where guys with the same addictions meet. He took the first step. I took the second, and somehow we got closer. I had no tights on and I was cold, which is mundane. He invited me to a movie, on the last row. You can see better from here, Little Red Riding Hood. I let him work out the intricacies of the concrete. A film on the last row never hurt anyone. If he can get used to my chest hair, I think I can get used to that broom he calls a moustache.
(Translated by Ana-Maria Batog / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year II / 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)
