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,
They have thrown a girl - Meg - into the cell next to mine. I think it might be a new form of torture: she will not stop talking.
She asks me about Isabella - claims they are friends! She says I should not have sold Isabella to Thornton - that he is a monster (Thornton has arrived and taken over as Sheriff; it was under his aegis that Meg was imprisoned). She may be right about him, but she does not understand, I had to make a choice: starve honourably or compromise for money.
She asks about the state of my conscience. What business is it of hers? What's done is done. I cannot change the past, no matter how much I would.
She even has the nerve to comment on my personal appearance. She would not be so bright-eyed and rosy-cheeked if she too had spent the last year in Hell!
She laughs at me.
The sound is not completely unpleasant.
