I'm hungry for you. Come tonight, with a bottle of wine. What about him? Oh, he left for Rotterdam this morning. I'll enjoy you as a slice of cake the entire month. Sofia, I don't want to go on with this. Alas! You're a loser, just like him. He loves the highways more than he loves me, he got married to that truck. But have you thought that he's doing it for you? So that you can go to the spa and have lunch in the city? You're a big fool. You'll find another one like me in your afterlife. Yeah, sure. I forgot that you're always right. You're above everyone from the first date.
(Translated by Georgiana Morozii / 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)
