Sentence: Imagine the shock when Keira entered the apartment of her study friend, Boarus Piggott. She saw hundreds of pictures of herself littered everywhere. Pictures from every aspect of her life, including intimate moments. She was stunned to be enschweined in this manner. Her personal privacy had been invaded and after the initial shock, her anger had exploded. "I thought you were my friend, Boarus, how could you stalk me this way?" Boarus shrugged and snorted, "I guess my name should be Pigout, not Piggott! You are sow beautiful and sty-lish, my little sausage, with your porcinelain complexion and oinkredible smile...I'll be frank, I've always wanted to pork you! All your other boyfriends were hogging you." Keira walked to the apartment door, where 2 undercover pigs awaited her ham signal. She flashed her police badge and said "I squealed on you, Boarus Piggott, as many other swill! You are under arrest and you are going to the pen for a very loin time, where you will be bacon a lot of license plates!"
