These are a series of short stories around the theme of things I wish someone had told me when I was younger. Through this collection I hope to educate people and give them advice on different subjects as well as explaining some of my own experiences in love, friendships, education, mental health. I hope to tell people younger than myself all the things I wish I was told by someone else.

Survival in a Strange World: Act 2 *Major Spoilers ahead* You have been warned! Boss Mason and Stompier arrive at Faulty Mine to visit the Master and help uncover what he is searching for. But standing between them and what they seek is a series of challenges that will test their skills, bravery and knowledge. Meanwhile Stephen continues to investigate his past and find the cause behind his doppelgangers existence, all while following Spirit's plea to find Mason and the Master and stop whatever they have planned. But with Raider's new idea to catch up to them, Stephen is about to step into a world far more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. While the story is set in the world of Minecraft, it can be read as a typical fantasy setting and no knowledge of Minecraft is required to understand the plot. Some things may differ slightly from how they appear/operate inside the game but I have tried to keep as loyal to game mechanics as possible. Any characters resemblance to real life people is entirely coincidently. I do not own Minecraft, Mojang or any of its contents.
