Steve was a lone soul. He had a house, a farm, a boat, but no neighbours, no friends, no family... He travelled to underwater worlds, spend nights in penthouses, but had never met any other human. He began to think there wouldn't be anyone to pick up his survival guide and follow him up. And that he would be alone, always.


A few days ago, he stood confused in a forest. 'He' appeared behind him, with the only difference, a terrifying one, that he had no eyes. It dissapeared in a split second when he saw him. He searched for him, desperate for someone he could talk to, but stopped in fear of it's look.


Thousands of little dots filled the dark sky. Steve slept.
'Steve!'
He immediately opened his eyelids. Did he hear that? Did someone really shout his name. Ne stood up and in a second he opened his door. He was almost blinded by a bright white light around ten meters from him. In the middle of the light he saw an outline of another human. He ran to him, covering his eyes. But the man he ran to, he had no face! He didn't have anything, he was just grey. Suddenly the grey man got dissolved by the light.
Steve began to feel pain in his head. It hurt, more and more. He began to scream. It was like something was being pulled out of it. The light got as bright as it could get. Then there was a flash of white. Steve fell on the ground.


He stood up and saw the light was gone. He wanted to run back to his house, but it wasn't there... He looked down, and saw his body, lying on the ground. Steve looked around if anything else had changed. Suddenly his body stood up. Steve was terrified. The body didn't move natural.. The body he left, it got controlled by someone else. It looked at Steve and jumped. Then it ran away. Then he knew it. The horrible pain in is head.. His soul was ripped out of his body...

Who could have done this?, He thought to himself. He wanted to go somewhere else. Somewhere far from he. He pictured a desert where he had been once. Suddenly he was in that desert. Did he just teleport? He thought of the night where the
white-eyed him appeared. Then he was in that forest. Someone walked in front of him. He turned around. It was himself. Steve was startled. He realized, he was the white-eyed him. He wanted to leave this world. He was a ghost now. He couldn't do anything. Then it got all black. Did it work? Did he leave

He saw the world he knew crawl by. There were buttons in the front of it.
It was a title screen.
Suddenly he understood. Someone hacked his world, his universe, and turned it into a game. His body turned to the game character. In the bottom of the screen stood the perpetrators: 'Mojang'. He jumped to the short line of text and hit it. Nothing happened. He looked up to another button. 'Multiplayer'.
He hit it. There was one server on the list:
help.lost_people.souls
He hit it.

He came to a flat world. There were people... All with white eyes.. But real. Real actual people like him! Steve cried years of joy.
