Minecraft setup.exe

It was the evening of a Friday, and I had finally saved up enough pocket money to buy Minecraft. I was more than excited to play the game with my friends.
A few minutes had passed, and I was already entering my mother's credit card details into the purchase page. I chose my username, made my account, and started downloading Minecraft!
Little did I know, I was downloading something worse. Not malware, or some little virus that'll slow your computer down. Something far worse. Something that will haunt me to this day.
I looked at the bottom of my browser page, and saw 'minecraft_setup.exe' downloading, it was at 73%. Then 87% and 100%. I went to my file explorer, and ran the file, hoping it would work. Nothing happened.
I double clicked again. Nothing. I right clicked on the file, and pressed open. Nothing, still? I sighed in frustration. After about 4 seconds, my mouse started to show that blue spinning icon. Probably just my other applications doing something, right? The blue marker was spinning for about 10 seconds, before a notice popped up. "Error: Unable to complete task. Please restart your computer."
Baffled, I clicked the windows icon in the corner, and pressed the restart button. I was already annoyed, and just wanted to play the game.
Soon after, the startup screen opened. I clicked, and entered my simple pin code. '1213'. I could type in less than a split-second at this point. It was just muscle memory.
All of the application icons popped up in the bottom as they always do, one by one. I clicked file explorer as it appeared, and right clicked on 'minecraft_setup.exe'. To my surprise, a window popped up, titled 'Minecraft Setup'. I was now excited. Being 10 year old me, I quickly pressed 'Next' on all of the boring stuff, like terms of service, download location, etc. I was finished with it. "Configuring Minecraft: 73%". With a sigh of relief, I watched as it went to 87%, then 100%.
Those numbers were cursed. I wish I had avoided them.
Shortly, Minecraft opened. Not the launcher, but the game. The title screen. The buttons had a rather red shadow. I thought nothing of it, as my computer monitor was getting old. I created a singleplayer world in survival, because I had always watched the survival episodes on YouTube.
As the world generated and loaded, I checked the time. It was getting late. I ignored it, and decided to still play for a little more. The world loaded, and it was night. I spawned in a plains biome. But there were no mobs. No animals. No life.. except me. I walked for a bit and found a tree. It's leaves were gone. Now I was scared. I looked closer at the grass. It seemed pale. Then something happened that freaked me out.
" has joined the game" appeared in the chat. It was red. Dark red, like blood. Instead of the bright, lively yellow, it was blood.
"< >: Hello there."
"<shadowXgamer332>: who are you?"
"< >: I am your deepest fears, locked away in the bottom of your heart. I am your worst nightmare, locked away in the back of your head."
"<shadowXgamer332>: what? why are you here?"
"< >: I will not tell you. You will not understand."
"<shadowXgamer332>: stop it"
"< >: I will stop for now. I will 'leave'. But I will forever be there. Watching you. See you soon, Michael."
My hands started shaking, how did this person, or 'thing' know my real name? I was frozen in place. All of a sudden, my textures started to glitch. The lifeless grass blocks went black, and displayed numbers. Constantly changing numbers. Then the tree texture started to go the same. Then all the characters on my screen, and in chat. The same pattern.
73, 87, 100
Then I saw a black figure, about 30 blocks away from me. No eyes, nothing. It was just stood there, facing me. Then all of a sudden, my coordinates showed up.
XYZ: 73, 87, 100
Then another message popped up in chat.
"< >: If you would like to speak with me again, go to the coordinates you are currently standing in. Only if you are in the world. Goodbye."
I was really freaked out. What did that thing mean, by 'the world'? From that moment on, I never dared to go to those coordinates. I avoided them, everywhere I went.
And then Minecraft went back to normal. But in every world, server I played in, I would see that black figure in every dark corner. Then when I turned to face it, it seemed like a hallucination. Nobody believed me.
Whatever you do, do not play on a world that has the seed '7387100', on the 73rd day of the year, on the 87th minute of the day, on the 100th minecraft day of the world, and standing at the cursed coordinates. Do not dare. Because nobody knows if the world with the seed '7387100' will be 'the world', and if you will be the next person that this will work on. Only bad things will follow.
So trust me, don't try it. Avoid those numbers.
Goodbye.
