Scratch

Johnathan was a normal guy. He walked down the street, expecting his bus to come along like usual, when he was startled by a banging sound, and he fell to the ground, black ink and mud staining his new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows T-shirt.
"Hey!" He chased after the bus. That was only the start. He slipped in some spilled soda, and his pants turned red.
He finally got to school, covered in soda, mud, and ink, and he slipped and his head hit the concrete.

He thought he was dead. No, he thought. He can't be.
He was on an island. Alone. He set off to find shelter, but he only found cacti and some animals. Fruitless attempt, he thought. He decided to take refuge in a large tree. He fell asleep, only to be awakened by the sounds of a spider, groans, and a banging noise. The first thing he thought was, does anyone want in? He looked out, only to be greeted by an arrow flying up and hitting the topmost leaves.
"What?" He peered over the edge. An arrow flew above his head, destined to land right at his heart. It landed right to his left, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He fell asleep again, and was awoken by a high, repetitive sound. He looked out to be greeted by a bang in his face. "Ow. How I did not see that coming." he said, quoting one of his favorite Sonic characters, Silver.
He grabbed a stick and some wood to make a makeshift weapon. He slowly crawled outside, and looked out. A crater was located below. He climbed down and crossed on a very weak spot of land. He looked around, and found a tree suitable for wood to upgrade his house.

The next morning, he looked out. Strangely enough, he saw a man running around, placing bombs, and a few seconds later they left a huge crater with blocklike sides.
"Who are you?" he asks.
"Acidictaco." he replies simply. He decides to come up with a nickname for himself: TheXmaster.
"I'm TheXmaster."
"Ah."
He looks down in a crater.
"Finally! Some redstone!"
He climbs down.
"AUGH! HELP! ZOMBIE!"
"Zombie?"
He makes a sword out of some stone and goes to fight. He also makes a few torches and a pick.
"What's redstone?"
"Wires. And there's some diamond!"
Johnathan holds his pick, ready to strike.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! We need to check for lava flows."
He walks through a hole in the cavern's wall that, strangely enough, wasn't there before. He sees a whole cavern filled with lava, and he spots some more diamond.
"Hold on..."
He bends down and makes a cobblestone path after a few minutes.
"How...?"
"You'll see."

Johnathan looks out and sees the moon slowly rising over the horizon. He packs dirt into a gap in the walls and he puts down some torches.
"You don't happen to know about a game called Minecraft, do you?"
Of course he did. It was his favorite game besides Infiniminer and Dwarf Fortress.
"Yes..." Then realization hit him. The TNT, the arrows, redstone... The crater with blocky sides. He looked towards some diamond.
"Hold on... Does that mean?"
He walks outside. It's day.
"..."
He punches a tree.
"Whoa." He keeps punching.
He makes some wood from the logs, and sees a man at a crafting bench. He walks over to him, and gives him 1 gold ingot.
"Ah. Mighty fine resources you have there."
He hands the ingot back.
"Do as I do."
I grab my wood and make sticks. Then, I make an iron pickaxe as he does.
"Now, do you remember?"
"I remember."
He crafts a piece of TNT.
"How did he do it?"
He sets it down, and runs away. It ignites, destroying the shop.
"It's fine."
He carves into the cliff again and lays down more crafting benches.
This time he puts it in the crater and lets go. It makes a deeper hole, right above Acidictaco.
Acidic smiles. He tells Johnathan to put a TNT in a hole. He does, sets it off, and runs away. He repeats the process, and places torches and ladders. He climbs down, and begins laying down wood. He sees me, Scratchthatguys, making a cobblestone house.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm making an underground city. The only way to survive, you know. It's safe from creatures if it is well lit and closed off.
I dig a hole and lay down dirt to make a hill. At the bottom, I make a small skyscraper.
