Brain-ache for beginners

It's taken me a long time to write 22 sentences today, but it's the other 4 that are the hardest, because those other four have to begin with w,x,y and z. I've recycled an idea I first saw on [livejournal.com profile] snaples' lj, because I just fancy making my brain hurt this afternoon. The idea is to write a story where each sentence starts with the next letter of the alphabet, so sentence 1 beings with a, sentence 2 with b and so on.

26 sentences; sounds easy, is hard. I'm making it even harder by writing smut, which I can't write, and making it harder still by writing Crowley/Aziraphale smut, which is impossible because they won't be serious about it, and you know how hard it is to get them into bed together. Or anywhere near a bed. But, there's only four sentences to go and I'm going to think of something for x and z even if it kills me.

Anyone else feel inspired to try it? I know I probably haven't sold it very well, but it is a lot of fun.

You could always try a backwards one:

"Zira--"

"You know I can't stand it when you call me that."

"Xcuse me, Az-ir-a-phale," Crowley repeated. "*What* are you doing?"

...and so on.

Hey, I like. Not sure about the 'Xcuse me', but I'll let you get away with it if you finish it!

Are you going to write any Good Omens stuff btw? I remember with great fondness that lovely Crowley/Aziraphale snippet you posted ages ago.
