Abstract
The narrative describes the sudden eviction of residents from a diverse and bustling 125-story apartment complex. The author, living on the 87th floor in unit C87, reflects on the vibrant community that included large families, single individuals, and transient occupants. Despite the variety of people and occasional dislikes, such as neighbors painting their units bright yellow, life was generally good until the abrupt notice of eviction. The residents received a warning, but it came too late, followed by an odd message about moving an Excel spreadsheet to the recycle bin, and then, without further ado, all occupants were evicted.
Opinions
- The author implies a sense of community within the complex despite the diverse mix of occupants.
- There is a subtle expression of personal preference and mild distaste for the aesthetic choices of some neighbors.

- The article suggests a lack of preparedness or control over the situation, as the warning came too late for the residents to respond.
- The author seems to reflect on the eviction with a mix of surprise and resignation, accepting the sudden change in circumstances.
