Exercise: write a piece without using the letter 'e'

It was a dark and stormy night....

This is the beginning of a paragraph you are about to write and you get two minutes for it. There is one thing about that paragraph: you are not allowed to use any words with the letter 'e' in it! Notice that 'it was a dark and stormy night' doesn't have e's in it?

So...

We did this in class. Some people had two to three sentences, others went completely blank. I managed to do this:

It was a dark and stormy night....
And I was still at work busy writing on my first book. With howling wind, rain and ligthning I was happy as. My iPad wasn't working tonight.
