Studies have demonstrated that numerous suicide planes, especially in created social orders, are not disturbed or wild-looked at aficionados with nothing to live for; surely, a noteworthy number of aircraft have originated from wage and training levels well over their nations' standards.

The noise of high heels dancing on the wooden floorboards echoes through the cold, empty, deserted rooms of the compact London flat, that she had called home for the last few years.Eyes closed, she drinks in the memories, smells and sounds. Moving from room to room, revisiting happy times and events, absorbing them to her mind’s eye for the long lonely nights that she thinks lay ahead. Suddenly Sarah Jane stops and stands like a statue frozen in time. Here in a state of numbness, within the…
