Behind the Scenes of Julius Caesar

Yesterday was the 14th of March

And my wife had a nasty
nightmare.

She dreamed that my statue was gushing 

blood.
She said I shouldn't try to get the crown
today.  I listened and said I wouldn't go,

Even though I think she's just
jealous.

However, Decius told me that the
squall, phantoms 

and my wife's dream are 

nothing to worry about.

I resolve to accompany Decius to the senate.
I don't want to listen to my wife anyway.

  We sneak 

out of the house,
hoping that Calpurnia will not catch us.

On the way I tell that irritating Soothsayer that
his prophecy must be wrong since 

I am still alive and it is now the Ides of March.

I have proved the superstitions of the people wrong!

This win should make the people treat me like a god

since I have out rivaled that old oracle.

But...to my scoffing at his fortune telling,

Mr. Soothy assents that it is the Ides of March, but
not past and that I could still... 

Die.

He and my wife must die when I become king 

Since they have been very vexatious lately.

However, I need to make the commonwealth think I'm cool so
I can be their Caesar.

Later...
*stab*
Et tu Brute?
