Three different sets that popped into my head. Will add some art for some of it, if the free time pops up to do it in. Fun contest idea.

C is for Catastrophe which we hope to avoid.
D is for the Dystopia with which we’re annoyed.
…
S is for Sequitur which is often a Non.
T is for Technology over which we fawn.
…
W is for a World that can be rather damp.
X is for the Xenon glowing in our arc lamp.
