CHAPTER 4


o Joey! Are you alright?o Steve heard a coughing from the kitchen; he stumbled over the ruins of the log cabin as he made his way to Joey. A jungle of wooden planks barred his way,


Steve battered his fists against the wood in anger, then, suddenly one of the pieces of wooden plank came away into a smaller, almost digital version of itself. Steve recoiled in


Shock but then gained his senses as he started punching the rest of the wood. o Why areno t my fists bleeding?o He said to himself, with renewed effort he bashed away the


remaining wood and walked into the smokey, charred ruins of the kitchen. A large crater took up most of the west side of the kitchen while furniture and rock had been flung into the east side.


The side where Joey lay, with his leg crushed under a small boulder. He lay breathing heavily, his eyes darting from side to side until he saw Steve, o Help me up!o He shouted,


his voice cracking under the strain. His ears were also bleeding Steve saw as he crouched to push the boulder off of Joeyo s leg. His back muscles whined in protest under the strain


of pushing the boulder. He heard/felt a crack and worrying for his bones he pushed a little harder, the cracking came fainter but more, as Joey screamed he realized the boulder


was crushing Joeyo s bones as it came off him. Steve stopped pushing, and as he did Joey said quietly o please. Dono t stop for the sake of my leg.o Steve closed his eyes tightly trying


to focus on what had happened in the few minutes heo d been in Joeyo s house o did I lead it here? Was it my fault?o These types of thoughts were swirling in Steveo s head as he heard the


breaking of timber, and fire. He looked up; startled and saw that the wooden roof was caving in. If he didno t get Joey out, heo d die. Steve rammed his fist into the stone with knuckles


alone, Joey cried o what are you doing?! We dono t have time for that!o Steve felt nothing as the stone slowly gave away under the force of his blows. The boulder disappeared with


a pop, but no digital small appearance showed up. Steve didno t care, his main priority was to get Joey and Claire out of the building as fast as possible. o Claire!o Steve shouted, the


small pig came running through the smoke to where Joey lay, Claire nudged him slightly with her nose and Joey smiled. o Claire,o the pig rose her head to meet his eyes.


o I need you to help me get Joey out of here. If I carry Joey, can you tell me a safe way out of the cabin?o Claire nodded her understanding, or so Steve hoped. Steve lifted Joey onto


his shoulder from a crouching position, then rose slowly with his arms straining under Joeyo s weight. o Leto s go.o Claire shot off through the smoke with Steve following in


hot pursuit. The roof behind them suddenly caved in to reveal a tall black man standing on the embers carrying what would appear to be a makeshift flint and steel. But


Steve did not look back, for if he did he would probably have dropped Joey out of shock, and anger. He burst through the hole that the cactus creature had created and onto the


singed grass where he lay, in utter exhaustion.


CHAPTER 5


Joey woke a few minutes later and saw what was left of his house. He cried out in defeat then sank to the ground where he lay, waiting


for retribution to come. But it never did. Instead he was greeted by a familiar pink snout, he looked up into Claireo s eyes and almost smiled before falling back asleep in the dirt.


Joey lay asleep for 7 more hours and by that time Steve had gone out to collect branches for a fire. Steve came back to a tear stained face and a happy pig, wagging its little


curly tail back and forth, and snorting humorously. Steve set down the wood and went to sit by Joey, he sat there for a few moments then said o did you gather treeo s to


build your house?o Joey looked at him, and replied o Yes. And it took longer than I liked.o o Weo ll two people will double the building speed. So we better get started!o Said Steve


with a new pitying smile on his face. o Where are you going?o Joey asked Steve as he walked back into the forest, o Io m going to build you a house!o Replied Steve. Steve walked


through the forest and found a good sized tree, he started to punch the tree when Claire went up to him and moved her head as to say o Look over there,o Steve saw where


she was indicating to and found he was staring at the violet eyes of a slim black man. o Do not attempt to win this game mortal. There is no end.o He said in a low raspy voice


that sounded like he was eating rocks at the same time as talking, Steve was about to reply when the man disappeared in that familiar cloud of purple smoke. Steve shrugged


and went back to punching the tree. He was about to break the bottom block when he thought of something o PHYSICSo his mind screamed at him. If you cut down a tree


at the bottom the whole thing will fall. Or in the middle, it will crush you. Almost as soon as he thought of that the slim black man appeared right in front of him. Steve recoiled


and fell back onto his butt in the dirt. o Physics do not exist here!o The man shouted and then on that note it grabbed a section for the middle of the tree ando ¦


Nothing happened, the tree just sat there, suspended in mid-air. The black man disappeared and Steve rose to his feet, still staring at the tree in front of him. He started to punch


the stump that was still connected to the ground. It came away in his hands revealing a small block of tree trunk. He put it in his pocket and started to gather the rest of the tree.


He came back to the makeshift camp and found Joey still asleep on the ground with Claire asleep beside him, Steve felt a pang of jealousy but instantly bit it back, feeling bad,


He thought what good friends he had become with Joey and Claire in the first few nights of this epidemic. He put down a single block of wood on the floor and it broke up into


4 wooden planks. He was shocked and then realized that it made sense, but this still felt like a videogame of some kind, he mused. He then made 2 more logs into wooden planks.


He started to make patterns with the miniature blocks of oak planks; he started out with a triangle, then a pixel-like circle, and finally a 2x2 square. What popped out in front


of him was in the shape of a cardboard box, but made of solid oak and it had small makeshift tools for crafting on its sides. It also had a 3x3 space


on the top for making things, or so Steve assumed. He placed the table down, and grew to its normal size, approximately half his height. He reached back down into his


pocket and found another type of log, a birch tree log. He turned around to find that Joey was awake and had been watching him for who knows how long. o What should we


do with these?o Asked Steve holding out the birch log to Joey. Joey took it and inspected it for a few second, and then he replied o It would make a nice floor.o


CHAPTER 6


During the period of 2 weeks Steve and Joey set to work. First Steve went out and gathered a couple hundred logs, while Joey made some blueprints in the dirt. They had


made a chest by putting a hollow square/circle in the crafting table and were storing their materials in the chest. A week into their progress Steve went to Joey and said


o You never told me what blew up the house.o Joey looked at him for a moment then said o ito s called a Creeper, if you get too close to them they blow up, kind of like kamikaze.


o Oh.o Steve replied. He sat down next to Joey to inspect what the house would look like. o And how have you been getting this food and water? Io ve been gathering wood


for a week now, and I never saw you go out hunting or anything!o o I have an underground bunker.o Joey replied calmly. Steve stared at him for a second, and then said


o You have a what?o o A bunkero Joey said starting to get a little annoyed. o why didno t you tell me? We could have been living in there!o Steve said, anger creeping into


his voice. o Because ito s dangerous down there! I only ever go in times of emergency!o Replied Joey o Why?o Asked Steve who was starting to calm down a bit. o Thereo s a


mine shaft down thereo ¦ and creatures, such as zombies, skeletons, giant spiders, creepers and giant slime creatures dwell down there. I cano t hold them off long enough to


actually LIVE there.o o Well can we mine materials and such?o Asked Steve. o Yes, I have pickaxes but I hope you know it IS dangerous.o Joey said with a sigh. o Yes. I understand.o


Steve said, all business now. o Then leto s get started.o Joey said, while getting up from his sitting position. o Most of everything weo ll need is in the bunker, Io ll lead the way.o


They walked 2 score meters away from the camp and came across a buried metal hatch covered by some dense undergrowth and bushes. o Did you make this?o Asked Steve.


Joey started to move aside some of the bushes that covered the hatch, he replied o Nope, just found it a few days after I built my house. I used it as a bomb shelter I guess.o


Steve, Joey and Claire walked down the stone stairs into a dark hallway with a musty smell to it. o Not much of a cleaner are you?o Steve said, almost to himself. o You try


Cleaning this whole place, ito s actually quite large.o The stone bricks; mossy and broken alike were holding the place together, but just barely. Joey stopped to look in one


of the storage chests along the side of a wall while Steve and Claire ventured farther into the depths of the hatch. o Be careful! This place isno t lit up too well you know.o


Joey called from behind them. Steve walked only along the lit corridors and soon found his way into a jail of some kind, it had 6 medium sized cells with iron bars and iron doors


guarding them so the prisoners would not escape. Steve saw the remains of one man who looked like he had died trying to chisel the bars away with a fragment of crystal.


He averted his eyes in disgust o What is this place?!o He shouted across the hall to Joey. The earth started shaking at that very second; a huge chunk of the ceiling fell right


in front of Steve. o Cave in!o Shouted Joey and he started running deeper into the dungeon until darkness swallowed him and Steve was left with Claire trying to escape


the falling debris and shrapnel.
