I was stumbling trough my room in the castle. Everything seemed normal. My footsteps echoed throughout the hall as I made my way to the staircase that led down. I saw a tall figure similar to mine. "Luigi... go back to bed..." I said, yawning. The figure I supposed was Luigi nodded and stepped closer so I could get a better view of it in the darkness. I saw it was not Luigi, but a taller version of me with Luigi's face. It made it's way up the staircase as I walked outside, slightly confused.
To my surprise, it was bright outside with a beautiful sunrise greeting me. I wondered why the castle was so dark, and pondered that thought as I walked to go feed Yoshi. He was in his usual spot, and as I patted him on the head he snarled and turned. His face had been twisted in horrible ways and there were blisters and cuts all over it. I stepped back, gasping. 'Yoshi' ran towards me and I ran back into the castle, barricading the doors with a conveniently put chair. I turned around to see that the castle was on fire, and Peach was staring at me with dark eyes. "P-Peach?" I stuttered, as her face and body began to twist in ways I cannot describe. I ran up the staircase and into me and Luigi's room. I saw the figure earlier in Luigi's bed as the room began to twist and turn and fall in on me. I then felt a sharp blade in my back. I was falling, but I didn't touch the ground. What was happening? Then it all came to me.
This is a dream, Mario; no, a nightmare. You just have to wake up. Let reality overcome you. Wake up, Mario.
Wake up.
