i)
His perfect portrayal of death was no act.
ii)
Her road wasn't as linear as thought; it curved downwards.
iii)

Three different stories but with an underlying theme of suicide or associated feelings. I really love this idea, it is a great constructive constriction on your thoughts, really forcing you to pare down your thoughts to the bare essentials, and choose the best words to essay what you wish to express. As for the suicide theme, it was something that I felt is easiest to convey in a sentence or two at most.
