Beware the Slime

by Chridy

Waking up on a beach with no memory and no sign human life, Alex sets out to find a way home through a land seemingly empty of civilisation. But as time goes by, Alex discovers that there's more to this world than meets the eye and that some places should remain lost, some doors should remain closed and some words left unsaid.

10. Day 45

Dear diary,

I have decided to build a city. It'll be underground and will replace the mine. There's enough resources there and with the large cave systems, hundreds of tunnels and the ravines cutting through the ground I don't have to do nearly as much digging.

I have already been clearing out tunnels and knocking through dividing walls to open them out and make them easier to explore, so it's not a great leap from that to digging out space for houses. I've also been filling the area with torches and haven't encountered any monsters within the lit areas - perhaps they dislike it? They only come out at night, so I guess they don't like light and the zombies and skeletons are definitely hurt by sunlight. This could work as long as I have enough torches, but with the amount of coal down here I don't think that's going to be a problem.

I think this could work.

Alex
