Letters to a Queen Winner and New Prompt

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 31, 2012, 12:40 AM

The Winner
To the Oldest QueenDear Cleopatra,

You are going to die. Even though you are no real threat to Elizabeth, even though you are frail and have no failsafe way of communicating with the outside world, even though you are so sick that you have lost your hair, she is going to have you executed. But know this. She will hesitate. She will hesitate to sign your death warrant. There is some familial affection there, though that may not
