Act One, Scene Five

I'm still in shock due to the events that happened tonight. I can't seem to wrap my mind around it yet. My fellow guards Marcellus and Horatio both told me that they had seen a ghost on their shift the previous night. Not just any ghost, though. A ghost that resembled my father greatly. I don't necessarily buy it, but why not check it out. So, as I arrive a little before twelve, I wait patiently with Horatio and Marcellus for my "father" to appear. Before I know it, there I see him with my very own eyes. I couldn't believe it. He motions me over to him. Marcellus and Horatio try to hold me back, but I get their permission to leave me be. I shakily walk over to this ghostly figure of my figure. Scared, we begin to talk. He tells me how his death wasn't caused by a poisonous snake, but my very own uncle...well...father. The newly pronounced king, Claudius. I couldn't believe it. I am still rather disbelief. How could someone's own brother do that? But then he told me something else. That I should avenge his death. Kill Claudius. As I couldn't disobey my own, true father, I agreed to kill Claudius. We shall see how this ends up...
