I can see you hit your character limit with this one! Quite melancholic, and that last sentence is awesome, though the comma seems out of place there. I think I’d have written it as:

“John stepped forward.

“He found the air whoosing past to be most enjoyable.”

However, it’s always best to take my advice with a grain of salt, I struggle with correct sentence structure at the best of times!

Another thing, for a story about suicide, it seems strangely peaceful and I quite liked that.

A bit odd, but I think you were going for that. I like the mysterious man in the bowler hat. Those bowler hats never do signify something good, do they?

@Jonathan Durnford: Gah, it took me a whole 30 min to cut the story within the limit, which was about the same time I took to actually write it :( I wanted the last sentence to be sort of a continuity, like the last bit of a poem sorta thing. I was thinking that John just got bored w life that “hey, let’s just end it.”
@THX 0477: There really is a poem “The Man in the Bowler Hat” by A.S.J. Tessimond! One of my favourites in terms of concept and sound, and the basis of John’s chr actually. Though nobody wears bowler hats nowadays that they become kinda ominous.
