A graveyard is such an...interesting place, isn't it? So many different people, lives, ones with such different ideas...all ending up in the same place. Why, in my recent visit along with my friend Horatio I saw the skull of my father's court jester, Yorick, dust and all. He had always been so cheerful...ironic how someone full of joy ends up in a place surrounded by nothing but darkness. Though, soon enough I found that Yorick was not the only one I cared for in the graveyard. I saw a funeral about to take place so I hid with Horatio nearby. My mother, my uncle, and oddly enough, Ophelia's brother had been there. I listened for a brief moment, discovering the unthinkable: Ophelia is dead. Why, WHY did it have to be her?! Why couldn't I have taken her place? I know I have acted poorly to her recently but.. I still love her. Her brother tried attacking me when I went near the grave; he doesn't understand! I loved her even more then he did, I would think.. I didn't mean for things to end this way. Ophelia was shoved into this entire plot and her death is all my fault! But no more; I'll settle my revenge now, once and for all.
Don't fret my dear Hamlet. There are more fish in the sea. - Gertrude
