Old Herobrine

"What many people see in nostalgia comes from a strange combination of happiness and sadness; a yearning to go back. I personally see a mystery of the unexplained." -Leonardo T.C.
Sometimes I get reminded of the old days when I played Minecraft on the Xbox 360 Edition. My 360 was a great one, luckily not the version that would fail all of the time when you would leave it go. The time of the rule of CaptainSparklez, stampylonghead, and SkyDoesMinecraft were the glory days for me and my friends. A great time filled with beautiful memories. Except for one memory.
Herobrine was a rumor that I'd heard on the playground and took into consideration quite well. But I was always a skeptic; and my disposition was not as naive as others. I spent a day hunting for 'herobrine' and nothing came about. So I educated everyone at the school and they all; in turn; heard me out.
Now, many years later, I purchased Minecraft: Java Edition and got exited about the old versions and exploring others nostalgia that I'd not experienced. I had been especially interested in the oldest Alpha versions. Around this time I heard about the old Alpha Herobrine stories and decided to head into my own realm of nostalgia as well; heading to the Alpha launcher to investigate Herobrine. I'd felt that people who'd grown up with it wouldn't take it with a grain of salt like I would, so I launched it.
I played for a couple of days, heard Calm 4, all that stuff but suddenly I heard a strange noise. It was fire crackling, but with an intense distortion, reverb, and maybe even vocode on it. Maybe Notch had just edited the fire noise in Audacity, I thought. No.
I was drawn to the noise, so I abandoned my existing project and went outside. My render distance went way down, and I tried to increase it to no avail. By this time, I was a bit disturbed by the events, but my stubbornness made me go forward.
I then saw something that'd made me jump out of my seat, breaking my headphones in the process. I looked back and saw that the trees had no leaves, just like the old Herobrine rumors. At this point; I was so interested. I had to go forward. Me and my stubborn ego pushed forward, taking the 4x4 tunnels that 'herobrine' left for me. And eventually I saw him.
He was just like they described him. But something was different. Blue boxes appeared all over my computer and my family and friends information kept getting leaked. I attempted to delete Minecraft, but to no avail. Nothing could be done. I then sat there. Looking into his cold, dead eyes. Nothing was true about him. He was just something that Mojang put into the code to be sneaky and harvest your data. I looked into the code however.
