600 words, no I

So I did a prompt the other day where we could only use the word I twice in 600 words in a first person story. It was actually really hard to write, but I was impressed when I finished. I'm going to try to do a better one, since the one I wrote was very elementary, just trying to get through the challenge. But it was interesting to see different ways you have to phrase things to not use I. Oh, and you can't use it in the first paragraph, either. Or the title.

that's pretty fantastic though, I definitely don' think I'd be able to do that

Wow! That definitely would exercise one's mental might!

PS, I couldn't use the word I, us, our, we, me, my, etc. Only two first person references at all, in any form.
