Dear Diary,

Sorry that I have forgotten to write here yesterday, but I have been very busy. Yesterday I spent almost all day gathering food from the trees and bushes, to pack into my leather backpack. Most food has become scarce due to pollinators like bees being turned into sculk creatures. This morning is when I set out to travel. I saw lots of green sculk creatures out in the fields. Luckily they were all out of earshot from my quiet footsteps in the tall grass. Eventually it was necessary for me to cross a river. I waded into the water to the other side. As I emerged on the opposite side, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. A sculk leech had bitten into my leg absorbing my soul. I grabbed the leech and tried to get it off of my leg. It gripped tighter to my leg cutting deeper into my skin. Finally, the creature let go allowing me to escape. Surprisingly, there was no blood in the wound. It must have only been targeting my soul.
