reasons for suicide

pure loneliness.

just being one really screwed up individual.

life falling apart.

flem, i gotta say, kinda a morbid topic eh?

signed, ______________"

That's how I remember my middle school years.

There is also the guilt trip method. Say, for example, the suicidal person thinks he/she accidentally kills somebody. So, out of total misery, he/she decides to commit suicide.

How bout, they join a cult like heaven's gate or something. "Sure there's a spaceship behind the comet...but just in case, I think you should go first and check...."

Maybe it was a dare. Some friends are getting totally wasted at some party and begin playing truth or dare. One person jokingly tells the person to kill him/her self not thinking it would actually be done. Unfortunately, it IS done.

That's all I got really.

My Two Bits,

How about feelings of guilt being the reason? Someone tearing themselves apart with remorse over something they did. There's also the prospect of a long, fatal illness, like AIDS or cancer. You could even inject an element of the horrific/fantastic, and make the person do it because they carry a curse or a parasitic monster inside them (ala Aliens 3).

I think most suicides do it not because they want to die, but because they see it as the only way to make their misery, real or imagined, stop.

Anyway, Why not persue that sort of avenue, where it's not anything outside or enviromental, but simple honest burnout. Call it drugs, or in a myriad small ways, life can do that to you, when you deal for a long time with a friend who is dying slowly from cancer or AIDS, or perhaps settled into a routine of work eat home that drains all the joy out of life.
It's the little things that make us want to kill ourselves when were depressed. Telemarketers, catching yourself watching infomercials at two and three in the morning, or simply being alone on christmas morning.
The big things get the attention only because we can point to them and go "See! That's why!". But it's the little things that send us to hell in the first place.

I would emphasis the small details in life that kill us slowly until life is no longer worth living. No cheap moralizing, No uplifting message, just honest and brutal truth. Sometimes life really blows. The question is, are you strong enough to survive it? With drugs as a backstory, you know as a fact, that you will never again feel as good as you did while using. Why do you think so many go back to it, even when they know it will kill them?

Constant alien abductions

visions of the apocolypse

oh yeah, each suicide member will get they're dying wish, so like the suicidal person will get to be hung outside his wife's window or soemthing.

yeah... this could be a cool story. if only I HAD A SUBPLOT!!!! GODAMMIT!!!!!

the story takes place in a made up world, like City of Lost Children, except not as green.

Aside from the last few verses, most of the book is a reason to kill yourself.

Ecclesiastes 1:11
"there is no rememberence of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow."

Ecclesiastes 12:8
"Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless"

that may help

tons of ideas in the bible,

52 pages in 2 days is alot

As always, if it comes out easy and too quickly, set it aside when your done and re read it a few weeks later with a fresh mind, then do you editing. That way, you end up more objective.

But don't fret, sometimes true inspiration can hit like lightning and you nail it in one sweaty, long night of obsession.
