Many people write diaries. This could be what a dictator's diary might be like-
Oct 1: Ordered three beheadings. They were very irritating. They kept saluting me all wrong.
Oct. 7th: Don't like today's date. Ordered my soldiers to catch the first 7 people they find on the street and throw them into a vat of boiling oil.
Oct. 10th: Broke the back of a silly politician advocating people's rule in our country. What good is that? When the people already have a perfect rule-mine.
Oct.25: Forcibly married 32 women I picked out of my poor subjects. Threw some people out of their houses to accommodate the new wives. The people protested, so my soldiers escorted them deep into the forest, and left them there.
Oct. 30: Had some fun today. Watched lions and alligators killing some men and animals.
Read Hitler's book again. What a genius!
