The Nightmare

I am writing this story to warn you. Something has changed me forever, and I can't go back now. It was my first time playing 1.9 and I really didn't know what to expect. I spawned in some sort of man made structure... It was a stable. I guessed it was a new add on so I just lived with it. There was one tamed horse with a saddle and diamond horse armour. So I took off on it through the Savannah, but I noticed strange things about that horse. Sometimes I'd lose control. Sometimes it would throw me off. Eventually, I found a lovely spot in The Plains where I built a lovely little home with a mine. I was scared by the horse, so no matter what I kept an eye on it.

Soon I even had a stable for the horse. There would be no escape from it except an escape I allowed to happen. Confident I could leave it alone for a bit, I went away to spend the incoming night mining. When I was back an astonishing sight met my eyes. My stable was gone, but the fence I tied the horse up to was still there, The lead was still on it, but it looked as if it had been cut off... I saw the horse for a moment going up to the stables where I started so I did /kill to get myself there. But then I was banned from the server I was on with the message 'I AM THE NIGHTMARE'

Every night I had dreams about it. Eventually I sent an email to Notch saying:

To:Notch Subject:Minecraft, SAVE ME

Hey Notch, being stalked by a black horse in 1.9 Minecraft and in real life. Goes by the name of 'The Nightmare' is this an Easter egg? If so, it is giving me the creeps! Please send a reply soon ;)

I am watching your emails. I am not a hacker, but I have been watching you. It is no Easter egg... It should have been. But plans changed and they refused me. So I took up my new job inside the computer. I am everything you saw. Notch cannot help you.

My old friend had the idea of making it an Easter egg that you have a horse you can ride found within the world. There wasn't enough room for this update so he got really, really mad. One day he ran away and I never saw him-although since his disappearance many people have been emailed about this subject. You are one of many people I was not able to save
