“It’s right there! The second shelf!” she yelled back.
“I am looking at the second shelf,” I yelled again. “It’s not there,” I stressed every word.

Silly me forgot to follow Bikurgurl and continue with 100-word writing prompts. Took me a few weeks to realise I seem to be missing some challenges. Well, at least I gave a follow so hopefully, I’ll be able to do it regularly!
Anyway, this is born out from all those childhood days my mother almost assassinated me whenever I’m looking for something but couldn’t find it. Then she would come, voila! she found it within seconds and shoved it in my face, saying coolly “Tell me. What’s this?”

If you are interested, the prompt is linked below.
