The night was filled with a deep silence. The raw, haunting noises of owls could make anyone shiver. The soft rustling from the bed was proof Leo couldn’t sleep on the floor. But that wasn’t what made her wake up.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAnGFFATpIFH
Anna sat up—not because of Leo, not because of the creepy sounds—but because she saw something. Something… off. A flicker in the corner of her eye, a feeling that something wasn’t right. Her chest tightened. She curled up on the bed where Leo had already claimed a spot. The dog, sensing something weird in the air, let out a soft sigh. What could he do? Bark?
123Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ull8ORou
Nothing happened. No shadow leapt out. No face stared back. Eventually, they both drifted back to sleep as the noises faded away…
123Please respect copyright.PENANAoKN9PWOrSh
Until—
123Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQnF0yr2U
“Anna, wake up! You’re getting late for school!”
123Please respect copyright.PENANAtapQnJEu1q
Now, you’d expect a sleepy “Five more minutes!” from a normal kid, but Anna? Nope. She never asks permission to do what she wants. So, she stays asleep anyway—even though she knows school’s waiting, studying’s waiting, and best of all—Leo’s gift is waiting...
123Please respect copyright.PENANAwN5KnSSL5e
She finally wakes up, rubbing her eyes. Suddenly, she freezes.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAaJu88wLep4
“PINKIIIIIIII!!”
123Please respect copyright.PENANAyoHAqcJvzK
Her scream echoes through the house, loud enough to make her mom drop plates in the kitchen. But don’t expect her mom to panic or rush in. This? This is routine. If Anna’s awake, then the shouting has begun—especially when Pinky, her fluffy bear, is missing.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAAgWgAafzKo
A deep sigh fills the room once Anna finds him—squished under her bed, tangled in a blanket like a tiny hostage. It’s just her nature. Anna always keeps things where she won’t forget them. Like… scissors under the bed, books under the cupboard, and shoes on the TV. She’s creative like that.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAEMknmIxBxM
She gets up—or almost falls down trying—and drags herself into the kitchen, not to eat, but to tease her mom. She knows what she really has to do: clean up Leo’s little morning surprises. Ugh.
123Please respect copyright.PENANArfMzfUd2bj
She puts on a bitter smile and starts cleaning. Then comes her favorite part of the morning—singing in the bathroom. But don’t call it singing. It’s more like screaming into a microphone at a rock concert. Can anyone stop her? Nope. She’s unstoppable.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAjrbg4Rg6zF
Until—
123Please respect copyright.PENANA1s7ZyNDb3N
The train horn.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAtNMc08qfxZ
“UGH. Again?! I missed the train!”
123Please respect copyright.PENANAQHXePPs78g
She stumbles out of the bathroom, still yelling—but at what, exactly? Everything. The blanket for not fixing itself. Her clothes for hiding. Her socks for disappearing like magic beans.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAG4icRv8RQL
Her mom? A literal robot, rushing around helping her find everything: clothes, books, even the ancient rusty lunchbox that should honestly be in a museum by now.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAgToS3oMTP9
Then… the best character arrives.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAQFptRvIMct
Her dad, still sleeping like a dead whale on the couch. Anna walks up to him and gives him a slap on the butt—her version of an alarm clock.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZxcHooRFQ
Does it work? Of course. She’s the ruler of the house. No one disobeys her, or risk having the roof fly off from one of her rage storms.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAZ891ffQZIr
Then she storms into her brother’s room. He’s had maybe two hours of sleep, because—was he studying? Please. He was gaming all night like a mouse with thumbs, probably finishing the fridge snacks too. No wonder he’s called the “two-legged mouse.”
123Please respect copyright.PENANAUDA1qRmK3h
She crashes in, slaps his butt too, and yells at him. Again. If you can find one moment where Anna isn’t angry, you get a prize. (Well… maybe when she’s talking to herself, or to Pinky. Or Leo the poop king.)
123Please respect copyright.PENANAf7O7Y6BDpx
Mission: accomplished.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAhS7zx0oNIS
Now comes Mission 2: ignoring tea.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAz4fkRQDgDT
She never drinks tea in the morning. It’s made, ignored, left to get cold, and then handed off to the two-legged mouse brother like a “gift of disappointment.” Breakfast? Ew. But she eats anyway, chased by her unstoppable mom’s screams. No wonder Anna has such a powerful voice—it’s genetic.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACy6ioPjY3q
Another train horn. Where’s Anna? Gone. Half a second ago. Lucky her—she lives just a few steps from the train station, which she lovingly calls Cry Baby Palace (because, obviously, the horn sounds like a giant toddler crying for attention).
123Please respect copyright.PENANAVWhWdyZzN7
She finally makes it. She smiles proudly—not because she’s ready to fail math again, but because she beat the train.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACvpk6dDn8Y
But wait… Where’s that smile?
123Please respect copyright.PENANAthZrXLxu5W
Gone.
123Please respect copyright.PENANACsAaEeuT1V
It’s replaced by her usual tough, mysterious exterior. The one that makes people think she’s made of glass—hard, cold, and unreadable.
123Please respect copyright.PENANA3R9Etu8c3N
The train approaches slowly, and her mind starts yelling:
123Please respect copyright.PENANAXWpe03zQEI
“Can you jump?”
“What if you don’t get on?”
“What if everything ends?”
“What if you disappear, and no one even notices?”
123Please respect copyright.PENANA5Et8AtKAp6
“SHUT UP, SHUT UP, YOU ALL SHUT UP!”
123Please respect copyright.PENANA2XMvYrHSIo
She actually yells that out loud. Everyone stares. She glares back. They heard her.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAvuPtoL6zUH
Oops.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAWwJ38PxXF9
She’s an introvert—home is her happy place. School? Jail.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAP2jDj3wd3W
And this morning is a brutal reminder: The vacation is over. A whole month—gone.
123Please respect copyright.PENANAwVngnX1qbn
It was just yesterday, wasn’t it?
123Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hl3HAnbxO
“THIS IS SO UNFAIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!”
