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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAgBEZz5AOk1
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?
76Please respect copyright.PENANAribrv1NN9S
Nothing happened. No shadow leapt out. No face stared back. Eventually, they both drifted back to sleep as the noises faded away…
76Please respect copyright.PENANApjU9s6HCw9
Until—
76Please respect copyright.PENANAzddzozKiYS
“Anna, wake up! You’re getting late for school!”
76Please respect copyright.PENANAq9KnIwOwlK
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...
76Please respect copyright.PENANAzWiWFwefRC
She finally wakes up, rubbing her eyes. Suddenly, she freezes.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAw6JVhU3pOB
“PINKIIIIIIII!!”
76Please respect copyright.PENANAQlswkhpwx2
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANABzDCk7pDXJ
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANARDbLgQRqTp
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAilZRL640hF
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAHfHm87Kchz
Until—
76Please respect copyright.PENANAmZZLbaQpEo
The train horn.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAjZJwOxCsFN
“UGH. Again?! I missed the train!”
76Please respect copyright.PENANAH0sTcBvnKf
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANADK2S2aKXA7
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAZGZqz06e3T
Then… the best character arrives.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAN8sEm8hEqZ
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAof1gb8uOl8
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANA9c8AAjMrcX
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.”
76Please respect copyright.PENANAWEmKyuY9YI
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.)
76Please respect copyright.PENANA6kOAFfylRO
Mission: accomplished.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAKmEHf48J2u
Now comes Mission 2: ignoring tea.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAIzOP5C1arB
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.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAMjyTPyfaQq
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).
76Please respect copyright.PENANAMqssNQpy8m
She finally makes it. She smiles proudly—not because she’s ready to fail math again, but because she beat the train.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAWHiM37tR4V
But wait… Where’s that smile?
76Please respect copyright.PENANAM2ardhuscn
Gone.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAMPgPQGPFkO
It’s replaced by her usual tough, mysterious exterior. The one that makes people think she’s made of glass—hard, cold, and unreadable.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAGojp3EF4Gc
The train approaches slowly, and her mind starts yelling:
76Please respect copyright.PENANAzflDTHhYz7
“Can you jump?”
“What if you don’t get on?”
“What if everything ends?”
“What if you disappear, and no one even notices?”
76Please respect copyright.PENANAFC3kkasO9c
“SHUT UP, SHUT UP, YOU ALL SHUT UP!”
76Please respect copyright.PENANATFAQ4T0HVr
She actually yells that out loud. Everyone stares. She glares back. They heard her.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAqgoFoCmhsy
Oops.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAdmMIv1Pv3L
She’s an introvert—home is her happy place. School? Jail.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAlpGl2GJuA6
And this morning is a brutal reminder: The vacation is over. A whole month—gone.
76Please respect copyright.PENANAJXXJn827Kq
It was just yesterday, wasn’t it?

“THIS IS SO UNFAIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!”
