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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAawVr9NyQfF
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?
137Please respect copyright.PENANAvRSub3TWOz
Nothing happened. No shadow leapt out. No face stared back. Eventually, they both drifted back to sleep as the noises faded away…
137Please respect copyright.PENANAiBNHogvimC
Until—
137Please respect copyright.PENANAiPpqzZJRaQ
“Anna, wake up! You’re getting late for school!”
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhjNxduJjh6
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...
137Please respect copyright.PENANAK6KqRO7Qv7
She finally wakes up, rubbing her eyes. Suddenly, she freezes.
137Please respect copyright.PENANATbdpB2s9Yf
“PINKIIIIIIII!!”
137Please respect copyright.PENANAE3gFmYGdbI
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAEdgg4i7fMy
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAhYsIuer25T
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAnW37KbbO3R
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA04lvQfhgkk
Until—
137Please respect copyright.PENANAlvdG1sDF6s
The train horn.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAox9GoY7tpV
“UGH. Again?! I missed the train!”
137Please respect copyright.PENANAPDTEQULtH8
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANADudiB4TbEE
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANANuuxT0mEwn
Then… the best character arrives.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAw4J3hqePVI
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAj9U1yHqybp
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAUc0LdsAzEI
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.”
137Please respect copyright.PENANAC0WYwPcDhC
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.)
137Please respect copyright.PENANABs0K81fjVL
Mission: accomplished.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAGxARPWmTLb
Now comes Mission 2: ignoring tea.
137Please respect copyright.PENANABzeWFGhxuX
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.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAig951VVat5
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).
137Please respect copyright.PENANABdaX4ZlL9C
She finally makes it. She smiles proudly—not because she’s ready to fail math again, but because she beat the train.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAzA5ztEFf0q
But wait… Where’s that smile?
137Please respect copyright.PENANA9wKqsUTvBL
Gone.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAIrveEU4MIU
It’s replaced by her usual tough, mysterious exterior. The one that makes people think she’s made of glass—hard, cold, and unreadable.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA01sRR4h8G4
The train approaches slowly, and her mind starts yelling:
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWxfOz01Gz8
“Can you jump?”
“What if you don’t get on?”
“What if everything ends?”
“What if you disappear, and no one even notices?”
137Please respect copyright.PENANAho5lLUOtJw
“SHUT UP, SHUT UP, YOU ALL SHUT UP!”
137Please respect copyright.PENANABBsZQ07m1y
She actually yells that out loud. Everyone stares. She glares back. They heard her.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAbHVOOd0eVy
Oops.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAFxO1YO1zPk
She’s an introvert—home is her happy place. School? Jail.
137Please respect copyright.PENANA26MpUPcSeQ
And this morning is a brutal reminder: The vacation is over. A whole month—gone.
137Please respect copyright.PENANAWHk47xfQok
It was just yesterday, wasn’t it?
137Please respect copyright.PENANANgoUQ6xJpR
“THIS IS SO UNFAIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!”
