Dear Diary,

It has been many years since I have last spoken to my cousin Claudius. That cold serpent hath always found a way to bite those who come near. A fortnight ago though, I received a letter from thine estranged cousin. Inquiring about my recently opened apothecary shop. Confusing in that I never told him about my recent opening. I told no one from that side of the family. At the end of said letter thy cousin indicated that he would be arriving within a fortnight. I shall soon see what he travelled all this way for.

Dear Diary, Someone is trying to get inside my house. I believe it to be the work of Claudius. He who visited me just recently, wanting only a bottle of highly potent poison hath sent someone to keep thine mouth shut. I do not understand, he made me swear secrecy, but I cannot keep that promise. After having hear of the Kings death, and Claudius' crowning I can only suspect Claudius had a hand in it with the poison I myself provided. It is my solemn hope that you, my estranged cousin hamlet hear of my imminent death and come to investigate, I implore you to read this journal. I hath sent a messenger, containing the location of my diary which I will now hide in a hollow spot behind a self portrait. I hope he reaches you swiftly.....unless he is already dead. They are inside now, this is the end.
