We Found Love in a Boxy Place

by foombalina

Your average romance, but in the Minecraft world, with silly allusions to the game. The characters battle to survive and find love, a purpose , a reason to carry on, or at least a higher power to look to. In a world scarcely populated and full of dangers. You meet young Clyde alone in his home after his sister Bonnie has moved.

1. The Square of Life

Part 1

Clyde's POV~

I wake up with miniscule work to do today. But such is life for me anyway. My parents taught my sister and I all about the world we live in when we were very small. So in the event they died. We would still be able to live on.

There was a time when the world was very populous. Millions of people living, but there was greed, there was selfishness. In an attempt to destroy an enemy one faction catalyzed a biomedical war that no one could win. There are very few people now, scattered all over the cube.

Zombies, Creepers and Skeletons are all remnants of the wars effects.

Zombies are what became of the general population. They have little reasoning skills and stay in dark places because they know living people don't go there as often and don't come to end their undead lives.

Creepers are the last bits of fight a strong country had to give, they were made to blow up hordes of Zombies in an attempt to eradicate the infection. But an enemy nation rewired them so they blow up the living instead.

Skeletons are the people who were very brave in life. They tried to go out and fight the zombies, but ended up infected. Undead and still brave, armed with their bow and arrows they (as zombies) venture into the light and their flesh dried up and fell off.

The more advanced technology was lost in the war. So now all we do is Mine and Craft. Simple lives of mining and crafting, maybe some exploration. But nothing too interesting. My sister lives two days away by boat, three days via minecart, and a Four days walk .

We wanted adventure, but I still miss her. We send letters in the cart to each other but it is not the same, as having little Bonnie Bell here. She is my little sister, but still my best friend. She is eighteen and i am a year older we tell eachother everything. When things get too boring i go to visit her and she me. But she has found a guy. Wandering like her. She says she may have found love. I would hate to disturb her so i visit less now. This may be out of courtesy or it could be that i'm just a bit jealous.

I wonder if I will ever find love. There has to be someone out there. Some lovely girl my age, in this confusing square of life. A girl that makes it all worth it. I hope each day I'll find her a girl. So that I can find love in this hopeless place.

My mind wanders as the sun is setting and I am adding another room to my expansive tree house. Then i hear a voice a real live voice

"Hello! Anyone here?" A voice calls and I pop my head out the window too stunned to answer.
