AI Article Synopsis

  • The speaker feels erased from both their physical space and identity, having their name removed from the building directory.
  • In an attempt to regain recognition, they've undergone embarrassing lab tests but remain unfound by researchers.
  • Ultimately, they resign to their state of "official non-existence," accepting their unrecognized status.

Article Abstract

Delisted in the building directory, my name stripped from my cramped quarters just off the corpus callosum, I am impossible to find. In petitioning for official reinstatement, I have agreed to the humiliating lab investigations required for documentation. I have waved, howled, screamed, pleaded, and moaned into the latest scanners, and generally made a fool of myself. But researchers, after extensive soul-searching, and being unable to capture me as pixels and waveforms, have moved on to greener pastures. So be it. I accept official non-existence.
