REC

Just a little crackfic this week, as a treat. This is part of a collection of Shakespeare play retellings called What If Shakespeare But Memes. All of them are very silly, but the Hamlet one is my favorite that I reread when I need a mood elevator. I was sorry to see that the author had orphaned it since I bookmarked it, because that probably means there won't be any more, which is a shame.


TEASER

Horatio: But wait, my lord! If you talk to the ghost, it could kill you!

Hamlet: (thrilled) Really????

Ghost: (pulling Hamlet out of earshot from the others) Speaking of killing, I was killed, actually. Murdered in my garden... by your uncle!

Hamlet: I KNEW IT!

Ghost: He poured poison in my ear!

Hamlet: I KNEW--wait, poison in your ear? And you died? Is that how poison works? (pulls out phone) Hey siri, if you pour poison into someone’s ear--

Good timing! I started reading this in Ashland. It's very silly, and I love it.
