Drabble : according to the editor : needs to resonate with the reader, hmmm
Wikipedia : ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas
Me : instill suprise
I did not get much more than 50% hit rate for these three 'criterias' in these drabbles.
i'd rather go for Pulphouse fiction or Fredric Brown like stuff which is harldy longer and a LOT better.
Hoever some DO instill interest, surprise and afterthought.
As another comment says do not read more than 2 or 3 at a time. This is not a novel.
As the usual the longest is the editor's drabble following the story that i peacully ignore. Shouldt i care whther the writer has a cat, a dog or drinks too much.

Excellent SCI-FI for the TWITTERATI
Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019
AUTHOR REVIEWA great little collection of tiny tales, all aimed at the Sci-Fi genre under a collective theme of "WORLDS".I am a contributing author of five tales, but I found that my work was in wonderful company.This is an Australian produced collection with a wide ranging source of authors, from as far flung as the USA, UK, India and Pakistan.The stories themselves are just as disparate. Some are simple, some could become novels.There is humour, terror, darkness and light.The biggest warning I would give though is, a collection of drabbles is a series of sprints not a marathon. Even five minutes of reading leaves your mind reeling at the world building, the ideas, the number of stories built in your brain and ended a hundred words.Take your time. Absorb and digest each story on its merits. Then move on. You will be much better for the experience.
