Hey guys, for a while I've been wanting to write a fanfic based on Minecraft. Today I finally started and I would appreciate a little constructive criticism, etc. First off though, the main character won't be referred to as "he" or "the man" the whole story. The first chapter is meant to be a little mysterious. The character's name will be revealed next chapter. Anyway here it is:
Grass crunching underneath his feet, panting hard, he sprinted past sheep, cows, pigs, animals of all sorts. He came to a split in the road. Left or right? He thought to himself, knowing from experience that the wrong path was a dead-end. He cursed his panicked nature and glanced quickly behind him, checking on his pursuer. He was shocked to see that there were now three of them. Come on, think! He urged himself, muddling his thoughts further. He threw his pursuers another glance and realized they were only a few metres away. Willing luck to be on his side, he leaped at the left path and broke into a sweat, running like a mad-man. “No.” The man stopped suddenly, staring at the dead-end before him. “NO!” He repeated, searching for a way forward. Once again he cursed himself, this time for leaving all his items in a chest. It seems I am suffering for my mistake. He turned around, defeated. Facing his green-faced pursuers, only then did he realize how much he hated these creatures. It seemed that they were bent on destroying all human life. As the closed in, they started to make a SSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssss sound that could only mean one thing. They were detonating. In a ditch effort, the man blindly leaped at the smooth face of the rock, hoping for a handhold. He suddenly felt all his weight suspended on his left hand, and looked up. “YES!!!” he yelled out in success, observing the rock-face for more hand and footholds. The man calmed himself, and realized that in his panic the rock had blurred, making it look smooth, when in fact there were multiple ledges, big and small. He looked down and realized in dismay that he was too late. Closing his eyes and preparing for the explosion that followed detonation, he heard- and felt a giant BOOM sound. As he fell to the ground, he saw a shadow in the distance, but before he could will his vision to clear, he blacked-out.
