Sentence: Fiona had spent months on her self portrait, so when her partner came in out of the rain with his mansize brolly he unfortunately stabbed the painting with the pointed end as he as putting it down, leaving a large hole right through the forehead. Fiona gasped and then started to howl, the sufferage she was feeling was beyond words. She was so angry she didn't know whether to hit him with the offending object or throw her masterpiece out of the window.
