entry #3:
i saw something today. someone. this world is supposed to be dead and empty. then again, it was supposed to be finite as well. i thought It was a god, but the absolute shoddy craftsmanship of this reality is laughable. i digress. it was tall, dark, and shapeless. it looked like a shifting and flowing cloud of thin smoke, and i was only able to catch glimpses of a figure forming out of it. if it hadn't been singing, i likely wouldn't have even recognized it as anything. out of caution and raw fear, i opted not to interact, hiding behind foliage as it hovered over the grass. after five minutes, it dissipated, as if nothing had ever been there. i investigated the area it had just left, and discovered deep scratches in the earth. for something that had seemed to just hover in place, it had done a lot of damage. the cuts were incredibly precise, but had seemingly managed to just erase chunks of soil. several squares, roughly six inches along each side, and hundreds of feet deep, were all that had been left behind. the snow around the area had begun to fall much faster, and it was now starting to pile for the first time since my arrival.
what was this thing? was it even real? have i just started to lose it? it's only been a week... hasn't it? the sun doesn't move here, it's forever stuck just after sunset, so it's... hard to tell. i don't get it. It has shown that they are firmly capable of building more complex worlds, of executing their power over them, why is this one so shoddily Built and poorly Erased... and why can i recognize that? it's only just occurred to me that i... shouldn't know how poorly this world has been made. and... if i'm part of this reality, this universe... even godly intervention shouldn't change anything. i should have died with this world. and yet i didn't. i woke up after being Erased. and looking around, i see it, all of the things that went wrong, like how this one world seemingly goes on infinitely, or how the sun never moves, or how the grass is the wrong shade of green, how the buildings all seem one brick too short, how the light feels dispersed unnaturally, how the air doesn't have the exact mix of nitrogen that i wanted... i... wanted... how could i want that?
