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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7hf86Lj93
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?
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOj8ZrYdCn
Nothing happened. No shadow leapt out. No face stared back. Eventually, they both drifted back to sleep as the noises faded away…
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvoPccFjvJ
Until—
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JBP0pQ7Yf
“Anna, wake up! You’re getting late for school!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hQrnk1Rq
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...
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PeT3XcMnC
She finally wakes up, rubbing her eyes. Suddenly, she freezes.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMn6LotYDi
“PINKIIIIIIII!!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTXnhAb7o
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEJJaRhecU
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupp5RmAODi
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4QdurgsfV
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4tC0SPV5w
Until—
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmI69ju7O7
The train horn.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YjikOjxFx
“UGH. Again?! I missed the train!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkj4tJOMT3
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLJL4POot
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrVU73IUna
Then… the best character arrives.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIH0ZGj8sp
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoXByh7NZM
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ759xYgSPX9
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.”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckLm7EESyw
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.)
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g1J2TWtGt
Mission: accomplished.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLg0UD6RyA
Now comes Mission 2: ignoring tea.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2g9AQUHEw
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.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPoLKB9AaQ
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).
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ9MOTYfbd
She finally makes it. She smiles proudly—not because she’s ready to fail math again, but because she beat the train.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvoERSi201
But wait… Where’s that smile?
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6dpD7eDe
Gone.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc46Ap0D0pW
It’s replaced by her usual tough, mysterious exterior. The one that makes people think she’s made of glass—hard, cold, and unreadable.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6XKXNkK7W
The train approaches slowly, and her mind starts yelling:
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EvIStO0ky
“Can you jump?”
“What if you don’t get on?”
“What if everything ends?”
“What if you disappear, and no one even notices?”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjUJGjyOXk
“SHUT UP, SHUT UP, YOU ALL SHUT UP!”
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6C2xsqAIc
She actually yells that out loud. Everyone stares. She glares back. They heard her.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50YGKN3aL2
Oops.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrag9E5et6o
She’s an introvert—home is her happy place. School? Jail.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CleR93jKT
And this morning is a brutal reminder: The vacation is over. A whole month—gone.
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcxnepN7Ai
It was just yesterday, wasn’t it?
