Dear Diary,

What woe! Though it has been but two days since my last log, much has happened. My dearest friend, Mercutio, was slain by that filthy cat Tybalt. O, how such a strong life could be snatched away so soon! How did such fury enter that damnèd Prince of Cats' still and vile heart? What, because Mercutio invited his friends to accompany him to the Capulet party?

Romeo was righteous in slaying that hateful villain. O, but my dear cousin has been exiled! My beloved friend dead and my beloved cousin banishèd. How much sorrow can a heart bear the weight of before it bursts? This can only be the terror and destruction my dream foresaw!
