The Honey bee and the Blossom

The honey bee went to the nursery to talk with the blossoms. "Hello, Miss Blossom, how are you?

"Mr. Honey bee, I'm a bit worried, you see. There's a young lady in the house who picks a few of us every day. My cousins are already gone, my sisters are too. I'm the last straggler and now she's definitely going to pick me sometime in the afternoon."

"Don't worry, my dear friend. I'll teach her a thing or two."

At the point when the young lady attempted to cut the guiltless blossom, the honey bee sting on her hand made the young lady take off. Unquestionably she will kill blossoms no more.

What is a Drabble?

A Drabble is an independent work of miniature fiction written exactly in 100 words. The point of a Drabble is to laboriously dominate curtness, provoking the essayist to pick words. A Drabble should be a finished story, with a start, center, and an unmistakable closure.

Origins of the Drabble

It is said to have been conceived by Ransack Meades, David B. Wake, and the U.K. sci-fi, a fan thinking back to the 1980s, as bringing about the concept of the Drabble. The design of 100 words is said to be laid down by the Birmingham College Sci-fi Society taking a term from Monty Python's Major Red Book, which, in 1971, portrays a word game.

During the game, the members accumulated around a fire, tasting cognac and participating in wonderful discussion with companions while testing each other to compose a book. The first to complete successes, clearly.

Nonetheless, the first round of Drabble occurred much earlier towards the beginning of the nineteenth 100 years. The winner was Mary Shelley with Frankenstein, and John William Polidori, who didn't actually complete over that stormy weekend break, followed with The Vampyre.

To ensure the game was possible in reality, the members of the U.K. SF Society agreed that 100-words would suffice.

Those early games proved so popular with the public that on April Simpleton's Day 1988, Loot Meades and David B. Wake, with Roger Robinson of Beccon Distributions, published a book of Drabbles, called The Drabble Project, consisting of 100 stories, each exactly 100 words, and priced at 100 shillings. The book was to a huge extent Sci-fi based and won the English Public Sci-fi Show grant in the classification of Best Short Text.

They went ahead and published two more Drabble books, each with a limited run of only 1000 copies each:

The Drabble Undertaking (1988)

Drabble II: Twofold Hundred years (1990)

Drabble Who? (1993)

The three books hold sci-fi stories written by such notable authors as: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Arthur C. Clarke, Brian W. Aldiss, Harry Harrison, Stephen Baxter, Bruce Real, and Isaac Asimov.

A very long time after the creation of the Drabble, the art of writing 100-word miniature fiction is still going on.
