Portazo Island Entry #5

At the beginning of this new day I took everything from my hideout and moved it outside so that I could bury the place. While it did serve me well it was hardly the kind of luxury home people hope to vacation at.



The day's project ended up being more work than I had thought and before I had even managed to lay a foundation for my new shelter night was upon me. I drew my iron sword and placed some torches out so I could see what was happening around me and used the furnace and some of the logs I collected to keep warm as I stayed up that night.



As I waited for day break I looked up at the stars and the clouds and the moon. They all looked so peaceful and carefree out here on Portazo Island.



I checked on my farm and noticed that I seemed to have some wheat ready for the harvest. It would have to wait though. It was far too cold, dark, and dangerous to wander over there alone. I looked back up to the sky and heard a faint hissing sound that was slowly getting closer. I looked and saw one of those creepy green beasts headed my way.



I quickly grabbed my sword and ran full sprint towards him and struck him with my sword. He bounced back and then continued toward me. Again I swung and noticed a nearby skeleton had taken interest in the fight. He headed towards me and quickly I swung a final killing blow at the green monster. His dying hiss seemed to grab the attention of a nearby zombie as well. I was quickly regretting burying my old hide out.



I focused on the tougher zombie trying my best to dodge the skeletons arrows. As he fell I ran toward the skeleton, taking a shot the the shoulder. I let out a cry which attracted the attention of another nearby skeleton. Frantically, I swung my sword at both of them until both of them were nothing more than a pile of bones. I regained my breath and bearings after that near death experience and returned to the warmth of my furnace, now a little more afraid of every sound around me.

I saw near the bay two more of these green monsters. I decided not to provoke them as I was beginning to feel really hungry and was in no condition to fight. Reluctantly I ate some of the flesh that had fallen of the zombie. It was a little chewy but I managed to get it down. The shear thought of what I had just eaten made me feel sick to me stomach.



Despite my best efforts to stay hidden from those two green creatures they eventually spotted me. I don't think they can see well in the light, but it appears as it the jungle cats had scared them off. Even just the small kitten. Unfortunately they scared them off into my direction. Trying to keep my distance from the two of them I did manage to dispatch both of the without either one violently exploding. I was impressed to find that those green things were afraid of the jungle cats. Perhaps I should try to make friends with a few of them so they'd help keep those green things away from me.



When I looked towards the sunrise, it seemed as if those creatures of the night had taken a liking to my farm. Hopefully the rising sun would drive them off so I can harvest my crops.
