[ WP ] You are John Doe , a completely unremarkable and forgettable person . You are so forgettable , in fact , that even Death forgot about you .

`` John Doe.'' 
 
 I am Extra-ordinary. Please note the hyphen. The world forgets me. It forgets you too, whether you have the courage to admit this or not. 
 
 `` John Doe, I can see you.'' 
 
 I do n't feel ordinary. I feel like I'm meant for more than life; but I've been alive long enough to know that you feel this way too. 
 
 `` You are real.'' 
 
 My vision blurs with tears. My life has never felt real. I've felt like a character, weaving in and out of movie scenes as an extra sipping coffee. By breaking the steps of their uniform walking I vanish completely into the world they never look back on. My life is playing pretend. My life is a one way mirror. 
 
 `` You are not forgotten.'' 
 
 I'm the invisible man. And you, you ca n't be seen. You know it to be true because when you walk in those rooms, they do n't look up. When you speak, they do n't hear. You vanish and they do not notice. 
 
 But death has n't forgotten you yet. Please do not let yourself disappear. You can not see me because I am not alive. You understand me because I am not dead. I am your Schrödinger's cat. 
 
 Because that's the thing about the Forgotten; you can not die if no one knew you to be alive. 
 
 `` John Doe, you are not invisible.'' 
 
 I tell myself, wiping my tears away and staring into the mirror.
