Today marks the day I, Mercutio Escalus, dies. Benvolio and I calmly stroll the streets of Verona under the hot weather, when Tybalt, Petruchio, and other Capulets decide to walk by and cause quiet waters to rage. Tybalt walks up to both Benvolio and I asking about our dear friend Romeo. Just by the sight of them, I had already been annoyed and Romeo walks by. Once Romeo walks by, Tybalt decides to turn his attention to him and starts a riot by calling him a villain. This obviously provides a notion that Tybalt wants to start a fight, but thankful Romeo refuses. I then perform my biggest mistake that took my breath away. I jump in for Romeo and fight Tybalt myself. Our little joust is then interrupted by Romeo who tries stop us, but Tybalt lunges under his arm and stabs me on my side. This excruciating pain is soon to end when my page brings me in. The blood stains the floor and I stare at the blood on my hands. I cannot believe what I see, what I feel. "I am hurt. A plague o' both your houses! I am sped."(3:1:88-89) This is my finally scene and I have passed. I will still watch over Romeo and see what has happened with all.
