Prompt: write about someone who doesn't exist

I looked in the reflection to find nothing except a girl on the other side of the street. My body wasn't visible as I didn't exist. That's why they sent me; I wasn't real to the world. If one were to search about me, they would find me not. I was sent to not be there but still be.

My job was to observe the victims they had in a file. I had to write down everything I found suspicious and leave it for the boss. I do what they say to get the necessities to live. Without it, I would truly be gone to myself.

My gaze followed the girl. People like her were the reason I wanted to be yet not exist. There was a problem with her genetic make-up that would eventually turn her into what I am: nothing. Nobody needs to live like I am.

The people I work for are trying their best to save humanity from my fate. And, I'm supposed to tell them how.
