Who went missing?

“Do you miss anyone?” quipped Kavs, my usually iridescent and unique neighbour. I looked around, thought for a couple of seconds and blankly said no. “Mom, Dad, sister, best-friend, anyone?” she nudged and persisted. My drowsy mind heard the murmur and said, yes, “My best friend maybe,” all the time wondering why is she asking me all these weird questions. She then said, “I don’t miss anyone.” After a couple of seconds, during which I could hear the brain machines in her head churning, she asked, “Am I wired wrongly??”

Sometimes you think the world revolves around you and you alone.
