Madeleine, my fascination with redwoods is literally why I named the character Red. So at the end, the sign could say Red's Woods ;) long game, on a trivial scale lol
Thank you for your feedback,

Xina,
Congrats on your first place win in the Life Without The Letter A contest. You've penned a masterful story cleverly written omitting the required letter. Well done. Your creativity was severely challenged in finding words to use without the letter A in them and your presentation is brilliant.
All the best,
Eugene

Thank you, Eugene, you're very kind. I very much enjoyed this challenge. I'd like to try it again.
But I did not win first place in Life Without The Letter A. The first place story was a fantastic little story by Julie Helms called For The Children. Check it out, she did a great job :)

Xina,
To me your story is the winner in this contest.
Keep writing,
Eugene

Awww, well thank you Eugene. I appreciate that
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Wow, this is so clever! I'm amazed that you could write such an eloquent story of this length without using that dastardly 'a.' And with a great message of conservation. Well done! So sorry I missed the vote but congrats on your placing! Debbie

I can't believe that you wrote this posting, which was quite lengthy, and did not use the letter "A". I went through each paragraph and read the words and bingo; you got through the story fine without an "A".
Dead trees are an effective way to purchase or receive firewood; also, if a storm tumbles them down, too.

Yes, I thought of including that but deAd trees would have DQ'd me, so no such thing as dead trees in Reds world lol
Thank you for your feedback.
Comment from Wendy G
An excellent story, developed well and thoughtfully, and with a lesson people should take note of. You wrote it well, and never once used the letter "a". Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from Jeano
Holy moly, that's a long story without any 'A's'. Well done. Great story about a man who knew how to take charge. Good luck with the contest. Not sure how anyone can beat this entry.

What an achievement! I really like the way you've crafted such a long story with a clear central message, all while avoiding a common letter of the alphabet. Best wishes for the contest! :)

Thank you! It was a challenge for sure, but I had a lot of fun with it. I'm certainly more aware now, how often 'A' really does get used.
Comment from Yusita
Wow. Not only did you do a great job telling this story, this was a great and inspiring story, and you did all that without using an "a". I'm not going to lie. I kept reading and reading to see if somehow you'd let an "a" slip, but nope. haha. Wonderful job!

Hahaha I triple checked it because i DID let a lot slip through initially.
Thank you. It was a fun challenge, one I think I'd like to try again some time.
-
Haha I?m sure! ?A? is everywhere so it?s easy to use and not notice lol. Well done again!
Comment from Julie Helms
Bravo on such a long story without using the letter A! You told a complete tale, with detail, that made sense! You even threw in a PSA for environmentalism. Nicely done all around! Julie

Thank you. It was a fun challenge. I didn't know if it could get done, I initially tried a haiku with much difficulty, so I figured let's just go for broke and see what happens.
