If you notice, I split up my paragraphs so that they matched the way the words split in your little phrase.

Gray, bleak clouds were beginning to fill the sky. Of all the nights for a thunderstorm, this would have to be the worst. Despite months of planning, a reasonable departure time was no longer in the cards, I realized as I waited at the airport listlessly.
Being an impatient person, I began to browse a magazine rack at the airport's convenience store. Like any holiday traveler, I had a pocketful of emergency money just in case things didn't work out. Everything my hands touched ended up in the shopping basket. Since it looked like I would be sitting around for a while in the departures area, I tossed some chips in the basket as well. Someone was beginning to announce on the P.A. system that my flight was going to be delayed for another hour.
" Utterly despicable," I grumbled to myself. "Someone needs to step things up at this airport, I swear, if I am going to spend Christmas Eve here, so help me God."
" Excuse me," I said to the man standing at the check-out counter, blocking the register area; he didn't seem to budge. 'Very well', I thought to myself, 'I'll just push him aside'. Even Mother Theresa would have her limits and this was entirely unnecessary, so I gave him a bit of a push. " Really, sir, are you going to stand there or will you move?" Yet, nothing happened, despite me poking him in the side with my finger. Only then did I realize that it was a coatrack with a big, voluminous coat hanging on it. Never did a laugh feel so delicious as I stepped around it and began to place my items on the counter. Even a Scrooge like me could find a way to laugh when things looked gray; now if only the sky would lighten up as well!

God bless us every one. Only a fool would attempt an exercise such as this. Despite the fact I have other things to do, I am attempting to succeed. By the way, I am a writer. Lo and behold when I saw the question, all I could say was, "Yikes!" Even though I think it's crazy to do this, I am. Save me, Lord. Save me, Lord. Usually I would simply go onto the next question. Suddenly, however, the urge to respond gripped me. Eventually, I hit the "Answer this Question" key. Verily, I say, verily I began to type. Each letter beckons me to began another sentence. Rationality has flown out the window. Yea, I am moving towards the end. One by one the sentences are typed in the box. Nothing will stop me. Except, of course, the end.
Happy holidays.

Goldilocks had always felt as if a part of herself was missing.
On the eve of her ninth birthday, she decided to go swimming.
Down the road from her house, there was a long river.
Being the free-spirited girl she was, she followed the road.
Little more than an hour later, she arrived at a small cottage.
Everyone had always told her, stay away from strangers.
She thought about this, and decided to walk away.
Still, she wondered what might happen, if she took a peek.
Until her eleventh birthday, Goldilocks kept from entering.
Suddenly, her curiosity got the best of her.
Every night Goldilocks walked down the road.
Very steadily, she got closer and closer to the house.
Even the animals followed her, out of curiosity.
Ready for action, Goldilocks prepared to enter the house.
Yet, she was hesitant, what if it was not safe?
Only her curiosity killed her, just like the cat.
No one knows what happened inside the house.
Everyone knows satisfaction brought her back.

Ganymede was crossing Jupiter, as seen with the little telescope I'd set up at Santa Monica beach. One of the finest sights in the solar system, Jupiter was majestic.
Diana was standing right next to me. "Biggest planet around, eh, Emu?" she asked.
"Like, dig those crazy colors," I responded, getting impatient 'cause she was hogging the 'scope. "Everyone should take a look up sometime."
"Saturn 'll be coming in view soon, too," she said. She was taking a lot of astronomy classes, although that wasn't her major.
"Unusually clear, for this time of year," I said, by way of conversation.
"Sure is," she agreed.
Eventually I got another turn at the telescope. Venus rode high in the sky, mysterious behind its murky atmosphere.
"Emu, have you ever wished you were an astronomer instead of a biology major?" asked Diana.
"Recently, I've taken to questioning my life goals, but no, I've never seriously considered being an astronomer," I answered shortly.
"You'll be a great scientist some day," she said.
"One day I'll get there," I said, absently, not really noticing that Saturn was in the view.
"Now it's my turn!" she called out. Ending my turn at the scope, I turned to her, and I could not help but notice that the most beautiful heavenly body in view was Diana, herself.

Gary was a simple creature.
On Sundays, he would lie in bed and read the papers.
Daily, he would go out and jog around the park.
But one day, his routine was disturbed.
Living next door to him was a hooker called Candi.
Every night, he would hear the moans and groans of her at work.
Sometimes he would hear a male voice with her.
Sometimes he would hear a female voice with her.
Unfortunately, Gary was also a bit of a prude.
So he decided to do something about it, even though he was shy.
Eventually he plucked up the courage to go and say something.
Valiantly, he knocked on the door, which he discovered was ajar.
Entering the building, he saw Candi on her knees in between a masked woman's legs.
Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, he cleared his throat.
"You are a noisy scrubber, and if you don't keep it down, I'm calling the police."
Once he'd finished his outburst, Candi started laughing.
"No need to report me, sweetie - especially when it's your wife I'm attending to!"
Embarrassed, Gary ran home in tears and treated himself to an angry w@nk.

'George! What are you doing?'
'Oh, just messing around.'
'Don't leave all that stuff in the sitting room Bess and James are coming round for cocktails.'
'Bloody hell, couldn't you have warned me?'
'Let's not go into that now, let's just tidy up a bit.'
Every table and chair was littered with papers and leaflets.
'Suzy, I hate having people round for drinks when I'm sorting out my memoires.'
'Sometimes, George dear, I'd like to burn the lot,' she murmured, but aloud she said, 'just pile them up, dear and I'll deal with them tomorrow.'
'Usually they arrive late, so no rush,' George grumbled.
Soon as he said it the door bell rang.
'Ever been taken by surprise?' she muttered on her way to the door.
'Very cold outside', said James, by way of greeting.
'Early as always,' groaned George, his arms full of papers which he dumped on the sideboard.
'Rough day at the office?' asked James
'You know he hasn't been to the office for two months,' whispered Susan, 'but don't say anything about that, please.'
'Officially he's on leave,' said Bess, nudging her husband.
'No one knows when dementia will set in,' James said, 'could happen to us all, eh Jane?'
'Elizabeth, James, my name's Elizabeth and who the hell is Jane?'
