Persephone

I've never told anyone about this story until now, it still haunts me to this day.
I opened up a new Minecraft world. I was excited to begin a new adventure in a new multiplayer world with my friends. We played Minecraft together on weekends a lot. The game helped to relieve a lot of the stress that built up during the week due to school and trying to find a job. Both of which have been a huge struggle for me.
I started up the world, looking around the birch forest I had spawned in. My 3 friends, Riley, Elle and Tayler, had spawned in shortly after I had. I began to begin to punch trees, you know, the usual. Once I had enough wood, I crafted them into wood planks, which I then made into a crafting table.
I had just enough wood and sticks to make a wooden pickaxe, so I did just that. The weird thing was the pickaxe was.. upside down? I thought it was funny so I took a screenshot and sent it to my friends. I just assumed it was a visual bug so I took the upside down pickaxe and placed it in my hotbar. I took it out to see if the bug was fixed, but it wasn't. I was just.. holding an upside down pickaxe.
It was pretty funny, I must admit. I decided to continue playing like this. It wasn't harming anyone, so why not?
Nightfall came quickly, and me and my friends had a small hut built in a dark oak forest. We hid in there, placing one torch on the ground so we could see. 
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) Did you bring the beds, Elle?
<V3IDR3K11> I thought you were going to do that
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) Oh dear. Did Lucifer get them?
<W1ngs0fGl0ry> no-
I was about ready to kill him with my upside down sword right there.
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) Well now we can't sleep, because there's mobs EVERYWHERE outside and no sheep.
<V3IDR3K11> Um- but- wasn't this world set on 'Peaceful'?
In that moment, I just, sat there. Feeling stupid. I could hear the zombies outside. I could hear the spiders crawl. I heard the skeleton bones rattle. In a panic, I turned to the menu, double checking the difficulty.
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) It says peaceful.. huh.
<W1ngs0fGl0ry> maybe it's a bug? i'll go check for mobs.
Lucifer disappeared into the endless darkness.
<W1ngs0fGl0ry> was shot by Skeleton.
That's.. odd.
Lucifer respawned and headed back to the house, getting killed multiple times along the way.
I couldn't help but laugh and make fun of him until he hid himself in a hole and said,
<W1ngs0fGl0ry> my screen kept flashing every time i got killed. it was like, strobe lights and everything it hurt my eyes.
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) That is pretty odd. Let me see!
<V3IDR3K11> I don't think it's safe.
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) Oh calm down. Lucifer is probably joking anyway, you think I believe anything he has to say?
<W1ngs0fGl0ry> you're mean.
I opened the door and looked around in the darkness. I didn't wanna go too far into the forest. I heard the unmistakable clatter of bones to my left, and I turned around with my pickaxe out. The pickaxe, which was unsurprisingly still upside down.
I swung it a couple times, but for some reason I did no damage. The skeleton ended up killing me in one shot, and, just like Lucifer said, my screen started to flash bright colors in my face. It wasn't bad, but it was enough to give someone a seizure if they were epileptic. I squinted my eyes, and through the flashing lights, I noticed the skeleton was.. headless?
I respawned, and made my way back to the house, the haunting discovery floating around in my head as I walked back.
It was day by the time I returned, and all my stuff was piled in front of the house. A sign hung over the house that read,
P̴̘̟̥̠̦͔͛̈́̉́̓̒͘E̸̢̺̮̘͕̤̱͕̎̾̒͝Ŗ̴͓̝̝̟̪̻̻͌S̷͕̽̐́̓͆̀̀̄̚E̷̪̻̪͚͓̟͈̋̒͠ͅP̷̮̩̆̋͑̄͛̀̏́͝ͅH̵̛̭̅͌̿̂̎̉͗O̷̭̍͋̊̓͠N̵̛̯͎͉͚̤̈̍̆̾̾́͋ͅͅE̷̙̲̐̍̆́̎̿̌͘͜͝͝'̶̢͓͇̟̹͕̱̭͎̈̍͂͠ͅŠ̴̨̡̢͍̜̘̤͂̂ ̷͓͈̪͉͚͐̓̅͂̈́̂̀̚C̸̢̠̪͎̱͉̟͒U̶̢̹̤͉̐̓̈́̋R̵͔̙͉̮͍̙̙̥͚̿͐͒̅̒̕ͅS̶͇̠̗̮̰̿͗́̎͛̃͝E̷̦̞͉͙̝͕͍͈̊͐̂͒͌̕̕̚
I wasn't able to read it well, so I collected my items, broke the sign and headed back inside. My friends were.. gone, so I put my stuff back in the chest and started to look for my friends.
<DancerTheTarotta> (Me) Where did you guys go?

Before I could answer, Minecraft froze, the screen flashing black a few times before my entire computer shut off. A sentence flashed on the screen, and it read,

A vague black and white image of a dog skull remained on the screen as it slowly shut off.
