Dear Diary,
Today my wife, Jocasta gave birth to a baby boy. The prophet sensed a very dark future ahead for the child, forecasting that he would eventually kill both of his parents. Though I do not want to give up a possible future king, a prediction such as thing should not be taken lightly. The Gods are vengeful, and always find a way to get their way. My wife thinks that we should send the child away to be done away with, but I am more hesitant. Choosing between the love for a child that has just been born, and the love for a wife that I have known for years, should not be so difficult. In the end however, I will probably have no choice in the decision. When Jocasta gets an idea, there is no stopping her from realizing it.
