M9: Olympics; I refused to use the 14 letter of the alphabet while I wrote this post.

     I trudged across the dusty road to Olympia. The road was really busy. People traveled from all over to watch the Greek Olympics. Every four years free Greek males came to box, chariot race, throw, & run. The 1 sport they refused to do was swim. I had came to fix that.......... I walked toward the huge stadium & stepped through the door. I wore a wig and loose robe to make myself look like a boy. Girls were forbid to go to the Olympics because the athletes refused to wear clothes.
      I walked over to 1 of the Greek athletes. "Have you ever swam as a Olympic sport?" I asked. He looked at me, confused, & said "Good idea." He stalked over to his coach & whispered quickly; the coach walked to 1 of the officials. He walked through a door & disappeared. After a while a voice shouted. "If you would like to swim this year please report to the podium." Yes, success. So if you ever swim at the Olympics, just remember it was absolutely my idea.

  3. I like your post and how, since you like to swim, introduce a popular sport to the ancient games! The writer's challenge was to NOT use n, but I found run in the begining.
