Comment from Mustang Patty
You did a great job of crafting a story without the letter 'a.' Cleverly, you proposed a world without the letter, and made the reader feel a great loss.
I didn't find any nits - at least none jumped out at me. I think the piece flows well, and tells a story.
Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you enjoyed the prompt.

Interesting viewpoint in pointing out the absence of "a" and especially enjoyed how you found a great replacement for cat "four-footed, furry friend." Good luck in your contest--this should get extra points for wit.

I imagine this was hard to write. I remember one prompt about writing a story without punctuation. That meant no spaces or "enter" key. I still have mine around here someplace. I don't think I'd want to attempt one with no "a".
Hey! How about one without vowels? Only a space where they'd be.

Thank you. What the heck, it looked interesting so I gave it a shot. It didn't win the contest but it was fun, and that's mainly why I write, to have fun.

That IS why I write, prettybluebirds.
When I retired, I looked around for a cheap hobby that didn't require a lot of travel. Fiction writing fit the bill, even though I had to relearn high school grammar from fifty years before.
Writing for a hobby doesn't require deadlines or bosses looking over my shoulder. Not worrying about publishing eliminates frustration on rejection. And you can't beat the cost.

You did a really good job not using the a--and you couldn't even tell us what letter you had to not use. :P I think I like all the letters, myself.

Thank you. Yep, me too. The letter A is such a vital letter that it is hard to write without it.
Comment from wondertwin
Nice job writing without the forbidden letter :)
Just writing this response without it proved to trip me up some too, so I must use it just once... very creative!! :)
Blessings, wondertwin!!

Thank you. Harder than it looks, huh? I thought it would be simple but I was fooled.

I don't know who you are, author, but I came to support some of the story authors who always support my work and found this.
You really have a knack with the pen. Witty and wonderfully light, oh, so needed as to remind the versatility of writing.
A jolly well done.
Good luck in the competition.
Best wishes,
RGstar

Thank you, my friend. It was a fun challenge. I got beat but the other writer deserved it, theirs was really terrific.
Comment from Donya Quijote
This tale of a missing letter was amusing and thought provoking. I do believe you excluded the letter A from each word of this write. Well done and the best of luck in the contest...

The finished product makes writing without using the letter "a" look effortless. It I weren't watching for it, I may not have even noticed. Well done. You accepted and excelled at the challenge. Best of luck in the contest.

How very brave of you to take off on this journey, mystery writer. I can't imagine trying it at all, but you did so masterfully!! And you even made it make sense.
Good luck in the contest,
