Vanishing

By Richard Abowitz

Oh no. I no longer exist. My Wikipedia entry has been deleted. So, what if it was written by a stripper? (She wrote me an email claiming credit.) For months I had felt my existence was part of the vast sum of human knowledge people have access to on the online encyclopedia of everything. I love Wikipedia, so exemplary of the net’s special mix of thoroughness coupled with a sketchy level of accuracy. But I existed; I was real. I had an entire sentence on me that was accurate. But that was yesterday and today I am gone.
