A comforting occurrence, although not normal, is reoccurring dreams or nightmares. Although scary, there's a psychology to realizing while you're asleep that you've been there or done that before. I know because I've had and documented reoccurring nightmares my entire life. It's when a new dream or nightmare arrives on the scene that truly upsets me.
However, a nightmare doesn't necessarily have to be a sleep occurrence. Some situations that occur in a person's life are depicted as classified as "nightmares" due to the nature of the horrific events. A person wouldn't desire to have the issue repeat and may want to distance himself from the circumstances that caused the distress. These events are classified as "nightmarish".
I share a micro-fiction for the prompt "a new nightmare" that's told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 15 December 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2587: a new nightmare. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
Shivering, Darnell snuggled closer, shame coursing through his body.
"There's nothing to be frightened of. It's normal that kids have nightmares," older brother Leon comforted.
Darnell stiffened. "You don't understand. A new, tall monster's outside peeping through my window."
Placating him, Leon investigated.
Footprints. Window smudges. Cigarettes.
Police were requested.
The Honest Truth

Un hecho reconfortante, aunque no normal, son los sueños o pesadillas recurrentes. Aunque asusta, es psicológico darse cuenta mientras se duerme de que uno ya ha estado allí o ha hecho eso antes. Lo sé porque he tenido y documentado pesadillas recurrentes toda mi vida. Es cuando un nuevo sueño o pesadilla entra en escena lo que realmente me perturba.
Sin embargo, una pesadilla no tiene por qué ser necesariamente un suceso del sueño. Algunas situaciones que ocurren en la vida de una persona se describen como clasificadas como «pesadillas» debido a la naturaleza de los horribles acontecimientos. Una persona no desearía que el asunto se repitiera y puede querer distanciarse de las circunstancias que le causaron la angustia. Estos sucesos se clasifican como «pesadillas».
Comparto una microficción para el reto "una nueva pesadilla » que se cuenta en exactamente 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.

A continuación mi historia.
Temblando, Darnell se acurrucó más cerca, con la vergüenza recorriéndole el cuerpo.
«No hay nada que temer. Es normal que los niños tengan pesadillas», le consoló su hermano mayor, Leon.
Darnell se puso rígido. "No lo entiendes. Un monstruo nuevo y alto está fuera espiando por mi ventana «.
Tranquilizándolo, Leon investigó.
Huellas. Manchas en la ventana. Cigarrillos.
La policía fue requerida.

Como de costumbre muy buen post, las pesadillas diarias muchas veces son más duras que las pesadillas de nuestros sueños . Gracias por compartir
Hello @norberto1. That's so true of the daily struggles people face. Real life issues often can't truly compare to dreams or nightmares.
Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.
