. After a few days. I struck gold. . I found a player’s base, raided it. They had enough to make a diamond armor set and tools. Which was lucky enough. But they could do that two times. And also, I found several netherite ingots and netherite armor templates. So, I struck so much gold that I actually wasn’t way out of my league. Plus, they had some pretty sick armor trims, (the silence trim, the coastal trim, etc) so I basically was set for life. . Why would someone leave all this loot here? I don’t know. But I didn't get killed. So I'm pretty sure that tracks until now, since if I was dead. I wouldn’t be writing about this now. . Anyways, I'm walking back to my base. Still stuck with my thoughts and this spyglass. It’s Just, something’s been bothering me. I’m not sure why. This one nightmare has been staying with me for some reason. It's an explosion. I’m standing over this one pressure plate, fire all around me. It hurts. It really hurts. Burning, distressed, broken, betrayed. That was a possible reality. I guess. But it was just a dream. Our minds make things up. . But I'm not sure it’s a dream. It just… feels so real. . It also sticks with me. I realized I had a big burn scar on my body a few days ago. It still stings. And that tracks with the wound. But I don't know. . Was this just an accident? I should try to sleep more than three hours per night. But it’s hard when you’re sleeping in an unheated base with no roof yet and also snow falling. Plus limited food and monsters. Zombies, spiders, skeletons, and creepers are threats to my survival. And I specifically want to make room to do this one tactic of splashing adoption of windbursting onto some chickens and then some harming. Also I would probably add an invisibility potion. . This would only work if I did the potions in order and had enough entities in a pit. Also an elytra or an ender pearl. Or a totem. But that wouldn’t do me much good. If I had a mace. I think I could kill anyone who tried to kill me. Even if my tactics were more of a “flee! We can’t die now when we’re hopeless!” Type of thing. . I do hope nobody finds me before I get an elytra or a totem. I also would actually need something. . Just continue walking. me. Just continue on. Just walk, walk, walk. I felt a prickling feeling going down my neck. Someone was there. It wasn’t safe anymore. “Hello?’ I called out. I wasn’t sure if it was an animal. But most likely it wasn’t. But I don't know. Why the hell was I so confused all the time? It was so confusing. Jesus Christ i need to stop being confused. But there was someone there, friend or foe, I don't know. Hey that rhymed! Nice! Okay, I feel like I'm in shock here, but I'm getting too much adrenaline. So you can't blame me. So. Being the stupid person I am, I called out again. “HELLO?!” Oh well, I have an eerie feeling that the person wasn’t gone. But I honestly didn’t care. I had just been spooked out of my mind and I slept for three hours-per-night. I don’t really want to go back to my base just in case it was a person who wanted to kill me. But I also didn’t want to stick around and find out. So I walk. Opening my door. Then I collapse onto my bed. I hope everything will be fine tomorrow. ---------------------- Songs: Cole's response - yaekolre + Beautiful - heathers: the musical
