Bones was part of our
eastern man-swarm,

part of our nameless
urban horde.

We didn’t use last names.

We considered that to be
too dangerous.

It made you traceable.

First names and nicknames
were all we needed.

You only need a last name
if you have a bank account.

Bones never quite got that far.

He lived on a cash only basis.

He was seen, and never heard.
He never got to tell his story.
