Sir Guy's diary
Disclaimer, so no one calls the police: this is the fictional diary of Sir Guy of Gisborne from the Robin Hood BBC TV series. This season he basically has two settings: homicidal or suicidal, so please also consider this a trigger warning.
Disclaimer 2: Guy is an idiot.

Dear Diary,
I am Sheriff!
I followed my sister to the forest. As Prince John suspected, she was conspiring with Hood - I will never trust her again, not after I have seen her kissing that outlaw! I shackled them together, but Isabella pleaded with me not to kill her. I agreed I would lie to Prince John on her behalf... if she would prove her loyalty by killing Hood. I gave her my sword, but Hood used the shackles and... actually, I am not completely certain of what happened. It was a very confusing three-way fight, and I am still not sure what side Isabella was on. She is impossible to read - and I suspect she herself does not know to whom her loyalties belong. Hood knocked me unconscious, and when I awoke - tied to a tree - they were gone.
When I had worked my way loose, I returned to the castle and trapped them in the cellars. I had overheard their plans as I spied on them in the forest: they were going to free the spring so the water would return to the rivers. I locked the trapdoor, and have left them to drown in the water they liberated.
I told Prince John that they were dead, whereupon he fulfilled his promise at last: he did proclaim me Sheriff. The people raised their goblets to salute me - ME! My moment of triumph has arrived!
