A Drabble is a story told in one hundred words. Exactly one
hundred words. Not almost one hundred words, not close-to one hundred words- exactly one hundred words.
It can be frustrating, it can be fun. If you are lucky, you
can dash one off in minutes. If not, you could struggle for hours to strip your
thoughts of everything except the absolute essentials.
You can drabble almost anything- a fleeting thought, an epic
story, a poem, a journalistic piece. You can also collaborate with friends as
crazy as you to mount “collaborate drabble projects”.
Whatever you do, it’s addictive.

And in case you are wondering, yes, this is a drabble. And it took me all of 2 minutes 47 seconds to write it (yes, I had the stopwatch going).
