Ceasar Continues his Rule over Rome
Lately in Rome, people have been getting anxious about Caesars continuing rule over Rome. 2 days ago, a young girl was captured and stolen from her family and forced to work just because they were short on tax funds. " It has been very difficult for me and my family to cope with our devastation" said 21 year old man Khalid Al-Faruqi. " What concerns us the most is making enough money for next month". Although many have been pointing fingers at Herod, inside sources have found that Caesar is behind the drastic changes in taxes. The people are overall angry, and a story of an upcoming messiah is beginning to surface. Majority of the people think that this savior is coming in the form of a political ruler that will drive out the Romans. This legend traces back to some of the early prophets who proclaimed about a man named Jesus who would wash away the sins of man.
