Watch Your Back

Have you ever played Minecraft and you noticed something felt, wrong? Something about the noises didn't seem right to you. The trees seemed, odd to you. You feel something squirm in your very stomach if you find out what true terror really is.
From the empty Villages, to the outskirts of the grassy plains. Something was strange about it all. Was there a dark secret behind it all? So, today, I am going to tell you a story about my younger brother (19) and how he got a little too close for comfort while playing a normal game of Minecraft one normal day.
It all started when he logged onto his world. I was invested. I told him about his buildings and the story behind what inspired him to build them. Honestly, he said Minecraft was 'just a hobby', which, I wasn't so sure of.
He decided to go mining. Deep in the furthest reaches of a cave that he didn't remember. As soon as I went over to it, he stopped for a second. He took a breath. Then, he stopped himself as he pointed out something.
'I don't remember this cave from before...' He said, confused. I was pretty confused too. Was his world edited by somebody else?
With nothing to lose, he went inside. However, he was surprised. He noticed a natrually-generated waterfall in the cave. Which was impossible.
The water seemed a little bit bluer than normal. This seemed a little bit interesting. I was standing up. Next to him. He suddenly saw a shadow near his monitor. It suddenly vanished. He was shocked. Then, he told me something.
'Did you see that?' He said, shocked. I was what it was, too.
I just nodded my head, because I was too scared to speak. And I knew something was going on. He contiuned to explore the cave. There was a old mineshaft up ahead. The tracks were, missing. Water seemed to be dripping from the ceiling. He assumed that the mineshaft itself was flooded. But, I knew something was a little, off.
I told him about this feeling of unease I had. He laughed. He then said that I had nothing to worry about. But, I think I had to trust him.
He contiuned walking. He noticed that there were footsteps in a patch of what looked like mud. These footsteps looked, very detailed. Too good to be Minecraft graphics. Suddenly, a noise was heard. It sounded like the scream of a Enderman. But, it sounded distorted. We both jumped in shock. My bro was scared and just questioned what happened
'W-what the heck was that?' He said, worriedly. His heart was beating faster than normal.
I told him that someone or something could've added a distorted Enderman scream to replace a previous cave sound. He was very confused. Yet, I couldn't blame him. He didn't exactly expect something that unexpected for a family-friendly game such as Minecraft and I was a bit confused about what was actually going on, too.
Nobody seemed to mess with the code. I assumed that it was a bug in the game. But, I didn't know exactly. Maybe someone changed the sound file? There were no other cave sounds heard. Just that one. My brother was going to go stripmining. For diamonds, of course.
He found a nice wall to mine. It seemed normal. However, the texture seemed to have a darker contrast to the rest of the cave. Which was a strange sight indeed. My brother seemed to question it, again.
'What the hell happened here? Was it a coding error or something?' He said.
He seemed very shocked and very confused. I assured him that everything was going to be OK. He started to mine, using his Enchanted Stone Pickaxe with Unbreaking III. After around a couple of minutes, he found diamonds. But, then, he teleported to the entrance of the cave. What was really going on? Was the code broken somehow?
My brother seemed extremely confused. He was getting annoyed. He knew something wasn't right. Then, he noticed a single ore on the floor, floating and doing its unique animation. It looked like Gold Ore. However, it was red. He picked it up. The ore itself was entitled Blood Ore. Suddenly, the programme that was running Minecraft shut down. A file popped up on his desktop. It was a Image File called BloodOre.PNG, when he opened it, he was shocked.
It revealed the texture of the ore itself. He tried to zoom in to get a closer look. He noticed something. It looked like his I.P. Along with a link to a Sound File called EndisNear.wav. He played it. It sounded like a audio recording. The audio plays as follows:
'Hello, if you ever find this, please do not tell anyone.'.
'I am spying on you, I see you, never look here again.'.
Then, it ending with a loud droning buzz, almost sounding like static. The person speaking, he sounded like a 30 year old man with a deep voice. It almost sounded like he was tearing up. Was he forced?
Another file appeared. It was a Text File called BEHINDYOU.txt. He was interested. So, he clicked on it. Three words were in the .txt file.
'Look behind you.'..
He suddenly turned around. He saw a shadow. He fell to the floor. He had a heart attack and he passed away. Let it be known that I'll never mention what happened to anyone.
Since that, I haven't touched Minecraft and I don't think I'll ever be able to forget what happened to my brother. So, eveytime I think of that game, I think of one thing. 'Look behind you'…
