"All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me." -Tupac Shakur

There are people who leave no trace behind. No records, no memories, no one left to say their name. And then, there is someone who asks. Every night, under lights that never go out, she does the same thing. She looks at those passing through the edge of disappearance and quietly asks, "Would you tell me your name?" She doesn't cry. She doesn't pray. She doesn't ask who was right or wrong. She only writes. Not stories. Not confessions. Just names. Names that would have vanished without a sound. Names that no one else would remember. She writes them down carefully, one by one, as if each letter carries a weight no one else can see. She believes that remembering is enough. That even if the world forgets, someone should remain. So she stays. In a place where the night always looks the same, where factory lights never turn off, where the sea is always too far away to reach. She doesn't ask for forgiveness. She doesn't write her own name. Because she believes she doesn't deserve to be remembered. But still- she listens. To the silence between breaths, to the moment just before someone disappears, to the fragile space where a name can still be spoken. If you were about to be forgotten... would you tell her your name?
