I spent 90 days building, hunting, and gathering food; basically just staying alive. Believe me, I counted.

The days blurred together, and there were few thoughts I could retain from the days previous. It was boring. Imagine, staying in a world where everything was made of blocks, and there was a person who seemed extremely out of place. That person was me.

At first, it was hard. Punching down a tree took a whole lot more than you'd think. Eventually, I got used to it; spending more and more time in this world would do that.

The days Mike, or H90sm, came by, I was a little more attentive. He was my only window back into my life, though it was a window I couldn't break. He told me how Nat was doing, although he did tend to get a little creepy. (Lol.

I had chopped down a few trees. With my axe rested in my shoulder, I took what I had and started strolling back towards my house, on the outskirts of the village. On the way, I studied the trees. The trees. Made of blocks, yet they're real for me. In the game, yet they have... smells.

I closed my eyes, taking in the sounds of the forest.

A branch snapped. Somewhere behind me. I swung my axe around, ready to kill. Monsters were common in these woods.

Thunk.

I let go of the axe, taking a step back in shock. The head of the axe was buried in someone.

"Natalie?" I said, my voice quivering.

She fell onto her back. I collapsed onto my knees, by her side.

"No, no, no.." She was losing blood. I couldn't do anything; she would die if I pulled out the axe. Nat's hands slowly moved to the side of my eye, wiping off a tear. I held her in my palm. Her eyes were sad, but they understood. She always understood.

I felt her hand grow heavier. My bloody palms slipped, and her hand dropped to her side. She sighed, her eyes glossing over. She was gone.

"No..." I sat there. I was numb.

Her body disappeared, turning into dust.

Did you like my little show? A voice boomed, drowning the forest. It sounded familiar.

Rausten.
