Waking up I took the liberty of carrying out my morning ritual, remembering to replace the leaves in my bed I spent thirty minutes gathering leaves and replacing them for the ones on my bed with some still left in my inventory I placed it in the chest. Taking the dried up leaves and moving over to place it in the furnace only to see the fire out not all too worried as I have some charcoal in the top part of the furnace a quick count and it appears I have sixteen charcoal out of 43 wooden planks not bad , it appears it mus take 16 minutes or so to smelt a single charcoal but am not to sure not knowing when the fire went out taking the charcoal and placing half in the chest giving some distance from my food as am not sure if the items torch inside the inventory of the chest with the right left i crafted all in to torches and it looks like more disappointing news as it seems a single charcoal equals a single tourch worst of all the torch aren't even lit which means I had to spend more time to make a fire placing it in to the furnace with more planks because since one charcoal doesn't equate to four torches like the game I have to craft more. Placing the torch into the low part of the furnace and watching it light up I tried to extinguish the fire and it works which means torches aren't infinite and go out so that means they aren't a staple source of light as if I place it outside my house it can be extinguished by the wind worst of the fire is real which means if am not careful I may burn down my house lighting up another torch and placing it in my inventory to see if it burns out while leaving out the already lit one to measure the time it takes before the torch burns out I went about doing my chores taking care of the farm and happy to see some little saplings already out which means it may take a week or two before the seeds mature maybe a few more days before it ready to harvest the berries on the other hand are a bit taller and may take only a week before it ready to produce fruit maybe a few days before the fruit are ready to be picked happy at not having to live off on apples for months, speaking of apples having my breakfast of you guessed it apples and a little berry now that am sure the crops are growing, heading to the out house to do my business before chopping some trees and replanting the saplings which after everything about two hours must have gone by checking the sun too see it about ten o'clock I headed into the house to have a drink before going out mining wanting to have more time so I can gather more stone and if possible find some ores only to notice the burnt out torch and seeing as it been in the house since it am sure it wasn't the wind which put it out which means each torch last about two hours checking up on the one in my inventory it seems pretty much the same which means they don't burn out in my inventory lighting up all the torches and placing them in my inventory and also placing more wood to be burning as I headed out in the direction of the clearing leaving the clearing behind once again

As i neared the mine to begin mining some stone the darkness surrounding the cave along with the

Dread and my paranoia made me switch out my pickaxe for a sword and equid a torch in my left hand as I walked through the mineshaft with the torch pushing the darkness away from me and the dread I was already felling made me jump as I Heard a low groan coming from deeper in to the shaft building up what little courage I had I move towards the sound knowing this day was bound to come especially in the world of Minecraft where Monster roam every where as I grew closer the noise grew louder but suddenly stop as I move forward only to hear a low groan behind me turning around to see a zombie with a stone hoe that is glowing lightly so am guessing it enchanted charging at me the fear gripping me to the ground instead of dodging as the monster reached me and strike me panicking and by reflex alone i manage to block his attack with the sword as the the top part of the hoe scraped my arms as i stabbed it with as much force i could muster landing a blow at the monster as it was pushed back by the force of the blow and dropped the hoe but I made the mistake of letting go of my weapon as well , as it was stuck to the chest of the zombie but it didn't look as if it affected or hindered it as it resumed it charge towards me , with nothing to defend myself with and so letting it land a strike on me as it tried to attack again I quickly caught the hoe as we struggle over it managing to toss it towards the exit, only for it to result to trying to bite off my throat with nothing but reflex and quick thinking I jammed the torch in to it opened mouth as it quickly caught aflame , turns out humans are flammable rotten flesh more so , as I pushed it away but even while on fire the zombie was coming closer to me moving backwards I equipped my pick axe in my right hand and charged at the monster striking at it head with all the force I could muster as a sickening crunch was heard and black blood staining the wall beside it the zombie finally stopped moving and fell to the ground still on fire felling like an about to vomit and with absolutely no idea what to do whatsoever I quickly jumped over the body and ran outside.

Under the morning sun, As I sat beside the cave listening to the sound of burning flesh still shaken by the fact that this is not a game and I could die in this world and that could be me one day ,

Once the sound of burning flesh seized I got up and walked into the cave determined to take care of the zombie but the smell of burnt flesh quickly filled the air making me almost lose my breakfast of apples with no Idea what to do I remember that in the game undead burn under the sun so quickly searching through it pocket for anything that may have survived the fire but coming out with nothing i dragged the corpse outside into the sunlight only for it to be lit on fire once again but unlike the pervious fire this one was pale and with absolutely no smell and smokeless as i watched the corpse be reduce to nothing but ashes and only what appears to be it loots drop since they didn't burn in the fire according to item count 4 pieces of rotten flesh, 2 bones, and with a flash of light and the low sound of do breaking appeared a leather pouch filled with what seems to be 8 emeralds in coin shape with a symbol of a crafting table on one side and a castle on the other side, some seeds, a rake , a straw hat ,a wooden bucket filled with water, a basket of tomatoes along with some lettuce , some bread, a gray substance in a black bag which I mistaken for bone meal but turns out to be called fertiliser along with a journal and 2 lantern with a bottle of oil , along with 6 tiny glowing green and yellow obs which am guessing are experience obs sink in to the ground before turning to dust and floating towards me the dust was so small it was almost impossible to notice especially if i had turned away.

It seems the drop count is different in this world with the flesh and bones being the normal drop for the zombie , while the other items must have been from the zombie inventory from when it was still alive worried and scared as that could be me one day , determined to keep that from ever happening, I walked over and picked up the loot along with the hoe from the cave, I used some leaves to clean the wall of the cave where the bloodstain was the best I could not planning on getting sick any time soon, I also decided to craft a door and make an entrance to the mine because from what I can decode from this experience the zombie must have wondered in to the mineshaft to escape the sun and had not spawn in it cause my house has been in darkness from the begining with and not one mob spawned in it this means this zombie are real people and must have wondered here when they were turned , deciding to call it a day since the smell made it unbearable to carry out any mining, though sad about putting my plans to upgrade my house on hold , but I won't call this a total waste as the loot and knowledge i got from this zombie are invaluable not to mention that it just taught me that other items not canon to the game exist and can be crafted rushing home to experiment with the crafting table along with all the materials i have access to at the time.
