Theme Prompt: #143 - nightmare (Amnesty 28)
Title: to finally find it (resurrections, track A)
Fandom: The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) - an AU in which Bowser is in the heroic role and the Mario Bros. are not, by way of a childhood swapping.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (because of Bowser's potty mouth) + hesitant warning for Mario Movie Spoilers I Guess
Word Count: 934 words
Author's Note: Sorry Bowser, for the nightmare traumas. It's not exactly a companion piece to reminders, not what I intended lol, but ... the new Mario Movie trailer reminded me "oh maybe I should actually practice writing this guy full of the insecurities my main Bowser ignored", lol.
(The Slay the Princess inspiration for this one + fun little note as to what Bowser actually tried to play later on in the drabble.)
Summary: Bowser Rigassi is used to nightmares, that comes with the territory of being a freak of nature without anything of a past but his first name. But the nightmare he has this time is unusually hard-hitting..

Challenge 143:
NIGHTMARE

Sometimes, your dreams are just awful.

There’s a wide range of nightmares, from the relatively mundane fear of showing up at school or work without pants all the way to reliving the worst, most traumatic events of one’s life. Sometimes the emotions from the nightmare linger for days; other times, all it takes to shake them off is a nice cup of coffee or a hug from someone you care about. Some nightmares are safely confined to the world of dreams, but under some circumstances, they can even follow you into the waking world!

How do your characters deal with nightmares? What kind do they have?

Write a story about a nightmare.

BONUS GOAL: “It’s not real. It was just a dream.”

If your submission includes this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 18 at 9:00PM EST.
