Bushes

Day 3

I feel like a bush is watching me.

I'm about two days into my Minecraft world, but I didn't notice the bush in front my house until now. It was creeping me out, because something about that bush was... weird. I thought I cleared the area of plants, and plus I didn't even know bushes generated out of jungles. This one was huge, by the way. It had this kind of yellowish tint to it, which was also strange, because I was in a green forest. I was even more unnerved by the size, because I couldn't have missed anything that big.

Anyways, I've yet to use all the wood I got yesterday. I think I cleared out all the trees around my shack, save the bush and one tree; I wanted to make that one into a treehouse, like the one outside my actual house.

I just put a sign on it, like the real one. Instead of "Jake's Tree", though, it's "Steve's Tree". Clever, right?

Like that'll do anything. I probably should've saved the bigger tree instead, but I guess I didn't really think about it until now.

That bush is really bothering me.

You know what... I'm gonna head over and destroy the bush. We'll see what happens.

Day 4

I did it. The bush is gone. I don't know why it creeped me out so much, but I guess I'll never know. The thing is, when I destroyed it, it took way longer than it should to mine it. 30 seconds, at least. Maybe it's just in my head.

I got started on the tree house. The platform was finished, so I went ahead and moved all my stuff up there. I mean, why not, right? I just need to put out fences on the edges. I don't want to be falling off.

Day 5

The bush is back. I don't know how or when, but it's back. This time it was even closer, though; it's like every time I turn away, it inches closer.

The worst part is that it's not alone. Two bushes, both a little smaller than the first one, flanked it. It was almost as if the first bush was... Leading them. Before I did anything, I covered them in cobblestone. Maybe that will keep them down.

I think I might go back to the village tomorrow, pick up the food at the farms.

Day 6

When I went back to the village, it was completely overgrown with plants. Vines and trees covered up the holes I accidently made when the villagers started attacking me. I was a bit creeped out, now. So I gathered the food quickly and rushed out of there.

I put all the food away in the treehouse. After that, I did the walls, making them about three high. I plan to make a second floor for storage or something.

What was that? It sounded like something broke stone. Lemme go outside real quick.

Day 7

The bushes broke through the cobblestone. I know I'm not paranoid, now. They're actually moving.

I tried burning it, destroying the ground beneath it, and just hitting the thing itself. It didn't work, or it didn't want to work.

I put another layer of fences on top of the first fences. I don't want anything coming in, especially that bush. Maybe it'll slow them down.

I could swear that some trees were where they weren't supposed to be... If the bushes are after me, does that mean the other plants are after me, too?

Day 6

They're surrounding me. The entire forest grew back around my house in a day. I know they're planning something. Why am I still here? I can just leave this world. Maybe quit Minecraft.

I don't want to, though.

Day 7

The forest grew again, and grows denser and denser every minute. Soon, it'll be a wall. I can't see through the branches. My treehouse may be the only safe place now.

Day 8

I made a wall out of cobblestone. It seemed to slow them down.

Day 9

I almost didn't log in today. I was scared.

There was the bush on the window I had made. I forgot about it, it was probably trying to get in through there. It was the first time one of them attempted to get into my house.

From there, they got in. The glass broke while I was watching it, and they all came flooding in. The green matter was almost like water, and it filled up the room in seconds. My character started drowning. I struggled to get to the unfinished second floor, because this green goop hindered my movement even more so than water.

I almost made it, too. When my feet touched the first step, my game crashed. I tried getting back to the world, but it didn't appear on the world list. I was done.

Now I'm home, locked in my room, because a tree branch slapped my window. Now I'm even more scared, because you know what?

It wasn't even windy outside.
