Sarasa Nightmare

Chapter 1-4

"Luigi! Luigi! Luigi!" Not one voice, but a hundred – no, there had to be easily a thousand – cheered from the town square.

Amongst the voices was Goomborio, "I'm going to change my name to Goombigi!"

And then more screams of his name rang out, overshadowing the young Goombo.

Luigi woke from his slumber with a start, the cheers of the crowd still echoing in his head.

It was the type of dream he hadn't had in years – one that he wished hadn't come back to haunt him.

Seeking adventure, fame, and glory was a past that he had put behind him. He was never the one who got to save the world... never the one who got the girl.

Being a farmer was his life with roots firmly planted in the ground.

He didn't have time to jump for the sky.

Luigi just had to convince his dreams of that.

Grumbling unintelligibly under his breath, he got up from his bed and made his way to his small kitchen. There, he got down his kettle and prepared himself some tea, determined to relax and return to a – hopefully – dreamless slumber.

After all, dawn always came early, and the work on the farm would still need to be done whether he was ready or not.
