My name is Gerald. My mission was simple. The goal was simple. My Life was simple. Well that was last week as you can probably tell considering no doubt you are picking this book off my dead body. It all started on a early Monday as usual my framed clock wakes me up at precisely 8:00 am. I put on my leather mining clothes out of my chest and grab my pick off the floor and walk outside to get my food. I walk out and suddenly I feel like I can't see very far maybe 10 or so blocks in front of my face. I figure its just a bug in the system and our Minecraftian god Mojang shall soon release a patch to fix it. Never the less I still have a job to do. I hurry up and walk to our local cook and buy some steak with my quickly depleting paycheck. I'm horrified to walk past the blacksmith and discover he has shady eyes and is starting to look a bit pale. I notice a few other things in the city. The librarian appears to be reading a nonexistent book. Puzzled I asked her what she was reading. She turned and looked at me to reveal that she was starting to become invisible. Her response was "By the old Jungle Tree" I was going to say that that was one of my favorite books but I was to scared to talk to her. Realizing I was running late on time I was deciding should I take my faithful steed a donkey but a steed nonetheless or take the railroad. The railroad was cheap only 1 gold nugget. However seeing as it was my budget was Currently 2 emeralds 1 gold ingot 2 pieces of iron and 3 golden nuggets. Seeing as you may be from a different continent then Minecraftia let me explain our Currency 2 emeralds = 9 gold ingots and 1 gold ingot = 9 golden nuggets. Iron ingots and coal are used to buy government issued things. But any who I decided to take my donkey. I'm not going to bore you with the uneventful ride also seeing as my time is limited... as aforementioned. I got to the mines and took the free canoe trip down the mine. Reaching the bottom I went into the locker room out of habit. Only to remember that I had already put my miner clothes on. How awful odd of me. I always change at the mine to save time. Well either way at least I got to see my friend Luis who works in the same mine as me. Infact he is the only other one who does. Because we worked in a smaller mine. I asked Luis if he knew if any strange ailment was going around making people disappear and turn all pale. However I got a typical Luis response: "Are you drunk?" I just chuckled. We walked down to our mine. He freaked out and took about 1 hp of damage. It was weird. He started saying that he could only see about 10 or so blocks infront of him just like me. I said "I know I think it is happening to everyone." "You know one of those things Mojang will fix." He said "Okay... just making sure I'm not sick or anything." Well I started mining and Luis said he hit lava. We had some buckets delivered our way via minecart chest. The lava lead into a cave system we needed a big haul today to increase our pay checks so we decided to explore the cave. As is the usual I mined and Luis placed torches, filled gaps, and spotted ores. About a hour later we came across a massive room filled with diamond blocks. I instinctively started mining them. Luis ripped my pick out of my hands and threw it on the floor. I said "what the fu..."- only to be cut off by Luis who responded "I don't trust this place if anyone is mining this place its the executive's decision." I realized this was very odd and we shouldn't mine until we had proper authority. Besides we would still get half the cut for these diamonds just for discovering them. Then out of nowhere lights started flashing revealing the room was much larger then it initially seemed. We continued down the room. Only to reveal a even larger room that was very tall. Also made of diamond blocks. In the center was the library. On top a very swampy partially destroyed jungle tree. Inside the library was a skeleton appearing to shoot at a very old version of our normal librarian. I rushed in and killed the skeleton with my pick. Luis stood petrified in fear at the entrance to the room. Uselessly. I helped her and gave her some food. As she healed she seemed to return back to her normal age. She looked at me. She now was fine of this ailment she had earlier. The librarian said "Its the book it has been causing disease and killing people." I simply replied "What in the nether are you talking about?!?" She elaborated on the subject "I was getting the By the Old Jungle Tree out for my child to read" - I then noticed a very proud walking kid climb down the vines of the trees - "I pulled it out and noticed the copy appeared to be torn and vandalized" "I then sat down to read it and skipped to the torn page" "In its place was a black tattered piece of cloth with the word "Time" wrote in what I can only hope was red paint." Then out of nowhere I heard Luis scream and start running towards us. I hastily sputtered "What is wrong did you see a spider and drop your pick on your foot again?" He yelled at me. Upon arriving at us he toppled over to reveal a diamond pick shoved in his head about 3 inches in. Blood was oozing out like a mad man. I reached down to pull the pick out and the librarian nearly killed me. She said "If you pull it out he will only lose more blood" I retreated my hand. I fed him some steak and the kid reached the bottom of the tree. Without saying a word the son threw a splash potion of generation that no doubt saved Luis' life. He got up and I could tell there was something wrong with him other than the fact that he was just assaulted and probably had a massive concussion. Mainly I could tell this because he turned into a wispy form of himself and he hovered off the ground and he said in a hard to explain voice
"Time; Time is what you need,
Tik toc goes the clock
Time is all that there ever was
but now time is held within the monster's claws
Time; Time is dead
When time runs out your life will hang on a thread"
He then reformed into his normal person. I looked back to thank the kid. I found nothing but a body and blood. The kid was dead. Laying aside his body was a note "The first fatality Yours truly -Time" I told the librarian who was talking to Luis. She knelt down and sobbed. I comforted her. She looked at me and cried soft sweet tears. I could say nothing but instead I knelt down with her and hugged. I don't know why but I cried too. I felt so bad. Then it was like a dream. A vision of a snake biting a kid playing basketball with some friends and there were laughs and fun times. Then there were screams and deaths. Then I awoke in the library.
