The 505 - 26

Write: Compose a 26 sentence piece. Each sentence must begin with a different letter of the alphabet, follow in order (i.e., A, B, C, D...), and cannot start with a proper noun. In addition, each sentence must consist of the number of words the letter’s position occupies in the alphabet. For example, E is the 5th letter in the alphabet, therefore the sentence that begins with E must be five words long. Y Is the 25th letter, therefore the Y sentence must be 25 words long. (This can be done; it has been done).
