Dear Journal,
I have had the most awful dream about my dear Caesar. A statue of my dear husband was seen spewing blood and the citizens of Rome were bathing in it. I ask myself if this is a sign.

Will I have to return to my family and work on the crops? That would be a step backwards in my life, I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible and swore never to return. I have greatly enjoyed the lavish lifestyle I am living; I will do whatever it takes to stay this way. What if Caesar does not return tonight? Who will rule and what will they want to do with me?

Perhaps it is a sign of good fortune. But now only time will tell. The Next Day Dear Journal,
I have just been informed Caesar has been stabbed by none other than
