Well, you did it! I didn't see an A anywhere. I liked the comical confusion. I also liked that you mentioned grits. I love grits. I had some last week, though they are not in my diet.
The image goes well with the story.
I am looking forward to your next offering.

    Thank you. I thought this was quite a challenge and I had never done it before. Boy, it gave me a headache before I was through. The picture is of my girlfriend when she was trying to write a a resume.

I had fun reading this and gave it a five for writing, but I as an entry for this contest I did notice some problems you might want to check.

. It will forever be evening if only PM exists. That's not the best thing (that's)
how can I mention the kind it is? (can)
Fruits most often include the letter in their names so how does one go about It? (names - about)
Sounds kind of corny to me trying to write without this most important letter. (important)

Th_t is one big ch_llenge to write something without using the ubiquitous letter!
I had a hard time writing this review without using it, as you can see! You did a good job pointing out how things would change without the letter 'A'.

Dear friend,

I'm not sure what you were trying to do, but this just sounds like one of Sasha's rambles. It doesn't really have a beginning or a middle or an end, and it's rather confusing all throughout. Although it was fun in a weird way, I don't think this was what the prompt was about. But I wish you much good luck in the contest!

    Thank you. I don't know, I just did my best to write without any A in the words. Sorry, you didn't like it.

Hahaha! A++
You did it! Not an A in there!
I have never written without using the letter A but I imagine it would be difficult.
I particularly thought the AM verses PM brought interest to the -A story and the remainder was humorous.

    Thank you. I did miss an A as one of the reviewers pointed out. I edited and corrected and hope I got them all this time.

You worked at this and fulfilled the requirements of the prompt. I love the picture of someone in the midst of a dilemma (I may not be correct in that) A fun story well written and I did know what letter you were not using but it was a guess

    Thank you, my friend. I forgot to mention the picture but I will edit and do so. The picture is of my girlfriend after she was trying to write a resume for a new job.

This must've been difficult.
I liked the following the most:
There is the issue of time too. It will forever be evening if only PM exists. That's not the best thing for those of us who never were or will be, night people. Those who rise before the morning light will be mighty confused when the clock tells them it's five PM. How will we know when it is time for eggs or grits? ...heh-heh, very clever...
None of the letter...well... you-know... were used in the writing of this review.
Best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you for reading and commenting. I did have one letter A but I went back and corrected it. It's harder than you think to write without the letter A. Thanks for your humorous responce
reply by Dean Kuch on 09-Feb-2017
    No, I wouldn't imagine it is easy at all.
    For example, just look at how many "a's" I've used here.
    Case closed, good luck!

Hi there,

A brave but in the end futile effort. You missed an 'a' in a very IMPORTANT place.

my spouse, but it's fine, it rhythms with louse, - rhymes?

be mighty confused when the clock tells them it's five PM - or possibly just 0500 (O-five hundred).

letter in their names so how does one go about It? - it?

Sounds kind of corny to me trying to write without this most important letter - I believe there is an 'a' in there.

All the best
GMG
