wouldn't be "no fewer than 500 words"? lol

but in all seriousness, this looks rather difficult...

That took some thought. Mm, brains! Whew! The next few days will consist of me going about my life unconsciously trying not to use the word "I."
Shakespearian tongue-twister:

To sit in solemn silence
In a dark, dank dock
In a pestilential prison
With a lifelong lock;
Awaiting the sensation
Of a short, sharp shock
Of a cheap, chippy chopper
On a big black block.

Compared to the no E's, it's a nice task.
Can't decide to write something ridiculous and random or something realistic and serious...
Hahah....haha.....ahahaha.

Am I allowed the royal "we"?
Please mention my name( @TakeThatYouFiend ) when you answer. :-)
You know that studded leather armour in films? Nobody wore that. I mean, how would metal studs improve leather armour?

Two questions; One, are we allowed to do a fanfic short story?

Two, are characters OTHER THAN the main one allowed to use 'I' in dialogue?

I'm assuming "I'm" and "I'll" and such are not allowed even though technically they're different words than "I"?
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.
To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!

I ENJOYED this challenge. Once again I'm one of the last entries, but whatever: I'm proud of my piece, no matter what the result is :3

Good luck to all, now I ned to catch some hour of sleep... And read the other entries as soon as I get up XD
