saw a tumblr post about Aokigahara (aka "suicide forest") in Japan. apparently it's the second most popular site for suicides in the world behind the Golden Gate Bridge.
and i suddenly got 2 ideas. very strange, possibly a bit gloomy, but ideas nonetheless.
- whenever i go to Japan, i should go to Aokigahara, maybe to lay flowers somewhere, maybe just to pay homage to lives taken
- it may be interesting to write some sort of fiction work (maybe a short story if it's compact enough) about a man who drives across the U.S. intending to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge. not sure at this point if he actually does at the end. but maybe i don't need to know that until we actually get there.
