I eventually woke up on the ground in my base, looked around in confusion, then shrugged. As I stood up and stretched, I thought that it was weird that my coma or dream or whatever it is hadn't ended when I fell asleep. I sighed, trudged out my base and into the morning sunlight, and decided that it was too painful to sleep on the ground, meaning I needed to find some sheep for a bed. I estimated what time it was, then went back inside to grab some of my spare iron to make some shears before going back out into the wilds to find some sheep.

I wandered in a vaguely straight line towards the oak forest I had seen, guessing that that was where I could find some sheep. Once I got there, I began to search in a widening circular style, but began to lose hope when I failed to find even a single sheep, even after a few hours. I starting walking back home to do something else productive there, when I saw a brief glimpse of white just around a tree.

Hoping it was a sheep, I took off in its direction, turned around the tree, and found an entire flock of sheep that had been hidden by the trees. I assumed that they had either spawned behind my search area, or had wandered into it without me noticing, but I didn't care, and got to work.

After shearing all of the sheep, getting about thirty pieces of wool, I began the walk home. Once there, I quickly threw a bed together, and put some cobblestone into one of the furnaces to prepare stone, in preparation of making an armor stand, so I could put my armor up before going to bed. I then went into my designated "bedroom" and put down the bed in a corner, before then putting a chest at the foot of the bed.

I then frowned, and broke the bed, before quickly popping outside to find a flower to dye the bed from the drab, white wool to something more vibrant. I eventually found a small cluster of dandelions and roses, deciding to grab most of them and create some orange dye, while storing the extra flowers. I quickly just made the dye then and there, dyed the bed, then went on again.

Once home, I saw that the furnace was done melting the cobblestone together, then grabbed the pieces to make the smooth stone slab needed for an armor stand, grabbed some sticks, and made the armor stand to go in my bedroom as well. I then crossed the hall, went into my room, placed the bed back down, and placed the armor stand near the bed, about a block away and against the wall.

I stepped back, and decided to make a painting with the wool. I went, crafted one, returned, and decided I wanted the large painting of a skull, and began the process of getting it set up. About five minutes of breaking and replacing the stupid painting, I was about to give up for now, when I finally got the painting I wanted... And then accidentally broke it. I sighed heavily, and started placing it again, managing to get it within the minute, to which I celebrated internally.

Painting shenanigans over, I went outside and simply stared at the outside of the base, thinking.

What did I want to do? When? How? Why?

I decided that first, I would create a house on top of the bunker. It was nice and all inside, but it was also drab and boring, and I wanted a medium sized house on top of the bunker, built purely for comfort and aesthetics, so that I would have a main place to stay. I then decided that along with this house, I would create a massive farm, extending for a few chunks at least in every direction, with the goal of looking very nice, while also being able to be mass harvested for food production easily. Maybe I could even make a big fence circling the entire thing, or maybe even a wall! Satisfied with my idea, I began starting the first part of the entire process.

Chopping down and storing every single tree in the area I would build in. I also began digging some moderately deep wells all around, for easy water drawing as I build the farm, creating then so that it would be an underground cylinder of cobblestone, with a two block wide, two block long, and three block tall pit of water inside of it. I would decorate the tops later. Once I finished clearing the area, building wells here and there, and overall just making some of the vital things to build a giant farm in.

After all of this was done however, I went inside and began using all of the wood I had chopped down to create a lot of the things I would need to decorate and build the farm. Spruce fences, slabs, some more torches, and a very large amount of stone hoes, with an extra few shovels on the side. Once all of this was done, I used some of my last iron ingots to create two buckets, and started the long walk to the ocean, while also paying attention for any nearby lakes that were closer.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

As I walked towards the ocean however, I began falling into a more introspective state of mind, and started asking myself questions.

Was I dreaming? If not, why was I here? What exactly was this world, if not just the dying imagination of a doomed man? I had no answers to these questions however, and yet... This was my second day here. I have always had a very vivid imagination, which has lead to me having some of the craziest and most detailed dreams ever, among other things. And yet, I have never actually fallen asleep in dreams. I literally cannot. There are even multiple dreams I remember that were almost exact replays of the day I just experienced... But they would always get weird every time I try and go to sleep. I would always sit there, unable to sleep for some reason, and then stranger and stranger things would happen, until the dream itself would fade away and I would either start dreaming something else, or wake up.

I have never slept in a dream before. And I don't see why that would change for a mental construct like this. And if I am right, and I'm literally on another world...

I broke from my introspective questions and looked around to see I was very close to the shore, with it only a couple dozen meters away. I walked up, fumbled before figuring out how to use the buckets, then filled both of them and began walking home. I did notice however that the sky, completely clear since I got here, was starting to have these dark and dreary looking clouds slowly approach where I was. What really concerned me however was the lightning flashing in the clouds, and the fact that they were stretching as far as I could see, and heading directly towards my house. I sighed, knowing I would have to stop inside to create as many lightning rods as I can, instead of just being able to get straight to preparing the wells.

As I was reaching my base, I then noticed that, to my great confusion and growing suspicion, the clouds were going at a pace that I estimated would put the storm right over me... as soon as the sun fully sets. While believable that this could work and even happen normally, it was setting my spine tingling just thinking about the timing. No clouds at all for almost two days, and then near the end of the day a storm appears on the horizon that is going to hit the second the sun fully sets. That's an incredibly rare coincidence, as far as I am aware.

I decided to continue on with life however, and instead went inside, grabbing all the copper I had, and began to create the lightning rods. In the end, I created four blocks of copper, and eight lightning rods, deciding to have it where I would have four floating blocks of copper vaguely in the cardinal directions, with a lightning rod on their tops and bottoms, simply because that should be enough protection, and it would look neat, at least I thought so.

Once outside, I went to the front direction of my house, temporarily dubbing it as 'North', and I then towered up with some cobblestone I had on me until I was about twenty blocks up. I then placed the first copper block on the side, placed a lightning rod on top of it, and then broke down a few blocks on the tower to reach the bottom of the copper block, placing it's second lightning rod down. I broke down the tower, and went on to the rest of the different directions to repeat the process for the rest of the directions.

Once setting up all of the rods was done, I became satisfied that my base wouldn't get lit on fire, and began to work on filling the wells with water. It was a rather simple task, all I did was place the two buckets of water in opposite corners to create an infinite water source, then filled the buckets and did it on a level higher, then on the final level, creating a pillar of water source blocks, two blocks wide and long, and three tall, within all of the wells. I then simply repeated this process for the other wells.

I looked up, saw the sun was fairly close to setting, and decided to simply rush and do whatever I could first. To start, I went back inside, grabbing a large amount of wood and all the shovels I could carry, while putting away any stone or other random items I didn't need back into the chests. I then went outside, and began setting up a foundation for the house I was planning to build, digging down and setting some wood blocks in the corners of the foundation area, marking where the house would be.

I then shoveled all of the dirt out from inside of this area, including going downwards, before towering out with some of the dirt and beginning to set up a large dirt path, circling the house before heading away in the direction I had designated as North, stopping after a while to create a path that would end up circling around the entire farm. I then began setting up these single block holes within the grassy area that would become the farm, leaving the blocks about seven to eight blocks away from each other, but no further. About halfway into making these holes however, the storm arrived.

I quickly retreated inside my bunker, not entirely trusting that the lightning rods would block enough of the lightning to keep myself safe. I returned to my room, put my armor on it's stand, and went to sleep.
