Let's see, I've been here… 3 months. Yeah that's right, I've been in this strange world for 3 whole months now. I still don't know how I got here, I just woke up here, in the middle of nowhere, actually. I had no memories of what I could have been doing before that, or even who… or what, I was. This strange world is made up of blocks, and nothing but blocks, the only circular objects anywhere to be seen are the shadows, which, for some inexplicable reason, or circular.
These blocks are each approximately one cubic meter in size, and can be broken if I punch them for long enough. I can break them by punching them without even actually touching them, just by punching in their direction. After they break, the drop a smaller version of itself, which will instantly fly into my pocket. I can grab a block out of my pocket, and place it instantly, again, from a distance. All I know is that I'm stuck here, and that I'm being hunted.
After the square sun sets, or anywhere that's dark, these weird creatures will begin to appear, out of nowhere. For some reason, they all try to kill me. I don't know why, maybe their just hungry, but I've never seen one eat. Zombies are usually pretty easy to kill off, they're nothing more than a nescience, and their counterpart, skeletons, are more difficult. Skeletons shoot arrows, so they have range, but their not too dangerous. Spiders can be tricky, as they can run fast, jump high, and climb up walls, but aren't too powerful. Their counterpart, the cave spider, on the other hand, is even faster, and possesses a deadly venom, but they only appear in a few places underground.
A few other mobs have been issues, but none so much as the creeper. Creepers are large, green creatures that are a combination of a vine and an animal, but explode once within a one meter radius of me. Unlike zombies and skeletons, they're around during the day, and unlike spiders, are always trying to kill me.
Creepers were the most dangerous mob I've encountered, until I took a trip straight to hell… literally. AKA, the "Nether". Here, mobs are far more dangerous than back on Earth, and I was quickly driven out only after managing to collect one block. An item called "glowstone".
After returning to Earth, I decided to try to make a torch, but using glowstone instead of coal, in the hopes that it would be brighter. I succeeded in crafting something, but it wasn't a torch, as I couldn't place it, and it gave off no light. I ran around outside to see if it could do anything. After a while, night had fallen, but I had my weapons on me, so I wouldn't be in danger. I decided to head back home, and on my way, I saw something out of the corner of my eye…
