saw a man, saw what he took, it was a stack of books and a rusty hook





Sometimes she forgets, honestly. It's never for long, maybe a second or two at most, but there are moments where she actually forgets it all - the destiny weighing heavily on her shoulders, the people whose lives rely on her. Currently she's stuck in one of those moments. Someone is talking, and she's sure that she's probably supposed to be paying attention, but well...she's not. She's daydreaming instead.

Other people might daydream about fantasy situations, of superpowers and exciting lives, but Anna dreams about a normal life. She dreams about being asked to prom, about getting to go, about whining about homework and missing the bus. It's weird that she finds such normal things so comforting, but there's always going to be a part of her that misses being an ordinary girl. For a few moments in the day, she has a chance to be that girl, and fret over make up and hair like it actually matters, like that's all that matters.

...And apparently she is dreaming a little too hard, because her elbow slips off of the table and Anna gets rudely shaken back into reality with a hard jolt and a rather unsubtle yelp. Sorry, was she supposed to be listening to whatever was just said?
