A Blocky World

Chapter 4: Never sleep out in the open!

I must have fallen asleep that night because the next thing I knew was that it was sunrise and I was terribly hungry. I made sure I had all my belongings with me, took a deep breath, and went outside. Although I was hungry and was a newcomer, I still had some humor inside of me left. I played around on my workbench until I crafted a sign. Score!, I thought. I engraved on the sign: "CRAZY COZY HUT. NO UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS" and placed it on the ground two blocks away from the door. There, I thought, now I'm all ready to adventure. 

I had one final look at my backpack, and finally I set off. I first got some more wood, went back into the house and made myself something that I could call a pickaxe(actually that's an insult to a pickaxe, I'd rather just call it "my stone breaking tool"). I wanted something to break stone with, since my fists would bleed half to death if I started punching stone. I ventured out into the woods, looking for some food and/or stone. I decided to not turn anywhere; in case I ventured too far away from my house, I knew I didn't turn anywhere, I would just need to turn around and start the journey back home. 

I went on till noon with no luck. By now my hunger level was very near to starving to death. I looked at the sun and thought that I should start back home, maybe some luck on the way back, and at least be sheltered in the night. But I was tired so I thought I would rest under a tree. I decided one large tree to sit under when an apple fell down next to me. SCORE! I started eating that apple and before I knew it, I had eaten it all. 

I must have fallen asleep again under that tree because I woke up in the middle of the night surrounded by monsters. AAAH! I ran as fast as I could go but the monsters kept on catching up to me. I finally took a deep breath, pulled out my sword, and the battle started. I swiped my sword at one of the monsters and it fell down and died. The next one took three tries but I finally killed it in the end. The third one was shooting arrows at me and looked like a skeleton. I killed it. The last one was a spider-ish thing, and I was actually lucky that this was the last of the monsters, because when I killed it my sword broke. Clear. Two pieces on the ground. I took this opportunity and started to run as fast as my legs could go toward my house. In record time, I reached my house, banged the door shut, and sat down on the floor. I'd never, EVER, want to sleep out in the open again.
