A drabble is very short and can go upto 300 words. It's supposed to be very brief and concise and is generally used as a way to test writing skills since you have to pack a lot in so little words. They normally involve established characters and plot. E.g somebody may write a drabble about Sai going to college to fulfill her dad's dream.


A short story (SS) can go upto 25,000 words and is about a series of linked events. The characters, plot are more fleshed out and developed, but to a lesser degree than a novel or show. E.g. someone might write an SS about Sai's journey in college.
