Somehow,
no one is quite sure
at this point how,
but somehow,
Madame Queen
has talked/
procured/
captured
Bones into being
part of her stable.  

Bones is in his room,
spending his first night
in the brothel.  

It starts off slow,
however,
after ten at night
things take on a life
of there own.  

The main room is a bedlam,
of laughter,
people shouting,
and screaming,
and all the rooms upstairs
are occupied.  

Bones hears moans
and an occasional loud scream
come through his thin walls.

Bones can’t escape,
he can’t get away,
and so he sits and thinks.  

This is his future,
this will be his life,
and this is how it will be.

Bobby

Thanks dear Juju,

Yes, I hope he gets out too.  However, I don't know this time.  We will just have to hope for the best.  Bear in mind, all my books have happy endings.  

Bones sends his love.

Love Bobby

Very sad but very much in touch with the reality of the situation Bobby.

Thanks Eric,

For the kind words on the poem.

Yes, that's the way it is sometimes here in the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

Thanks Yann,

Yes, believe it or not, Bones does get to spend some free time sitting and thinking.

Bones always was the deep one.
