I forget whether I've mentioned it here, but I'm doing some post-graduate study - a Graduate Diploma in Professional Writing. During first semester I studied full-time, doing three units (proper f/t would be four units, but I was busy with impending family expansions!). This semester I'm only doing the one unit - Writing Short Narratives.
In our tutorial earlier this week, we had 5 minutes to write a lipogram - in this case a story using no words which contained the letter 'e'. Out of nowhere came this not completely factual little story...
Enjoy!
On reading it, I can see a few improvements I could make (while still using no 'e's). But I thought that wasn't bad for five minutes' work with absolutely no warning.

Bart sat down with a look of shock on his dial. Now looking so tall, Buzz Aldrin shook his fist.
"You say I didn't walk with Armstrong on our Moon. That says I did. Now go away and don't push your Holy Book in my ribs."
Bart got up slowly, finally topping Aldrin by half a foot, his girth doubling Aldrin's.
"I'll put you in jail for your lying," trying to cling to his fading dignity.
