Drabbles: A Hundred Words of Dread

What if Hamlet was a far more horrific tragedy than now? At that time when ghosts were evil tricksters, what if the king's ghost lied to Hamlet? In a blood feud against Claudius and all of Claudius's family, what if Hamlet was not King Hamlet's son, but the illegitimate son of Claudius's adultery with Queen Gertrude? Then Hamlet was also the target of King Hamlet's ghostly revenge. The deaths of Rosecrans, Goldenstern, and Yorick were murders by Claudius's henchman Poloneas.

What if Ophelia went mad when she discovered she was the illegitimate daughter of Claudius, and couldn't marry Hamlet, her brother?
