Notes: all of the words here were taken from this article on worldwide suicide statistics. I tried to keep the phrases I used as intact as possible. The lack of punctuation is intentional as well as the liberal use of ‘white space’, I think it contributes to the mood and the matter-of-fact nature of the information.
