“Suicide by leaping from a tall office block during times of recession is a myth spawning from the old century. After Octavo A. committed murder-suicide when he jumped to his death and skull crashed his former boss, an event he shared with a billion people to date, the practice has become the past time for fatalists, pessimists and miscreants alike.
At one point during the deepest part of the depression, around recession nadir seven, a suicide a day was purported to have occurred. Now when you look outside a window and see some poor devil flying down to zeroland, one can’t help but think, are the gangs now disguising their murders as splatterjobs.”
