Bones and the Nameless Urban Horde |

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. Bobby |
