The Perfectly Static World

This Minecraft world is perfectly stable. No mobs. No players. No chaos.

Just blocks existing. Every particle moves the same way. Every tick is predictable. Every sound repeats

in a perfect loop. It's not alive. It's not dead. It's static. I loaded into it

by accident. A corrupted save file from 2013. The grass doesn't sway.

Water flows but never changes. I can break blocks but they reappear in the same spot

exactly 10 seconds later. I tried building. The blocks vanished. I tried leaving.

The world border is invisible but I can't cross it. And then I heard it.

Footsteps. Not mine. Not random. Synced perfectly with mine.
