    Prompts: 30-50 feral hogs, 3-5 minutes

    For decades, the landowners around here have struggled to keep the feral hogs under control. But lately, their numbers seem to be increasing dramatically. Now, it seems, the hogs are finally taking over. Each night, the landowners wake up to the sound of feral hogs rooting through their gardens and tearing down their crops. It's only been happening for the past few weeks, but it seems like the hogs are getting smarter and more organized. They're fast, too. The landowners have found that it only takes 3-5 minutes for the hogs to devour everything in their path. And there's nothing that can stop them. Unless, of course, someone can come up with a way to get rid of the hogs for good.

    Same prompt generated again:

    In the middle of nowhere, on a lonely piece of land, there was a farm. The farm was run by three generations of the same family. The land was owned by their great-grandfather, who left it to them. The farm was a well-known spot for feral hogs. The hogs had been there for years, and the farm had become their home. The farm had been abandoned for months, and the hogs had been getting bigger and bolder. They were starting to raid the farmhouse, and the family had to do something. They called in the professionals. The professionals arrived in 3-5 minutes, and started shooting the hogs. It was a slaughter, and it was over.

    And again:

    Thirty-five miles outside of town, a farmer was out in his field when he spotted a group of 30-50 feral hogs. He knew that if he didn't do something, they would destroy his crops, so he took action. He shot several of the hogs with his shotgun, and then ran to his tractor to get his tractor gun. Within 3-5 minutes, he was able to kill all of the hogs.

    This is why we need tractor guns.

      This style of writing feels like the SAT reading comprehension tests.
