The protagonist in “Notice of Rejection” appears to be unmoved by historical barbarism and societal injustice until rejection hits home, then it's a different story. Turning to social media, no one "likes," nor do they follow or even comment on his predicament. He calls the authorities, to no avail. Completely obsessed, he becomes an activist and looks for acknowledgment, only to have doors slammed in his face. He decides to see if rejection can be turned around and grow into something to change his life.
