A Minecraft Story: Chapter One

It was dark. A dungeon. A green face. That was all I remembered. I woke up from my eventful dreams and rubbed my eyes. Where was I? Underground, perhaps? Above me, I heard the clank of shoes on cobblestone roads, and horses trotting along. How did I know this? I don’t know. I just did. My throat was parched. How long had I been in here? The smell of this room was putrid, and I needed a breath of fresh air. But there seemed to be no way out. How could I escape? And that’s when I saw it. A ladder. It was rusted and old, as if it had been there forever, and the bottom half was ripped off, giving me a problem. I would have to make a jump for it. I leaped, and caught the bottom rung in mid-air. I climbed up and pushed through the grate on the top. 

And I saw the most amazing things. The sun blinded my eyes, but I was still able to take in all the beauty around me. Buildings that seemed to touch the sky. Stalls of food vendors lined up on the streets, hoping to sell their goods to passing customers. A train station. And people. People everywhere. Something still tingled in the back of my mind, but I just couldn’t remember it. 

“Craften, 4000 blocks”, a sign read. I had adapted to my surroundings by now, and I was ready to explore. I was able to locate food, water, and shelter for the night. After thanking my sponsors, I continued on my journey. Who was I? There was so much I needed to remember about myself. 

Then the hiss came back to me. Hisss… It screeched like a thousand vipers in my mind. A creeper. It cornered me in that dungeon when I was exploring that eventful day. It threatened to blow up. The loot in the chest was so close, yet so far away. Then it came closer. My sword was with my companions. Under its green leathery skin, it produced something I had never seen before. A small studded pocket knife. I dropped my bag of tools in fear. It’s eyes seemed to paralyze me. I was frozen in my place. And then it stabbed me.
