Bones Is Free |

No one owns Bones. Bones handles his own business. He pimps himself. He sets the price, and has certain limits about what’s to be done to him. Ever since he ran away from Madam Queen’s brothel, he’s been a free boy, more or less. Bones doesn’t feel he needs protection. Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E.

Good for Bones - I hope he's doin' it right. A good read, thanks, short and to the point. Better to be free and intellectually lean than a puppet in borrowed mental furs. |

Bones certainly has his work cut out for him. I am not so sure that pimping is `safer` than working in a brothel. But Bones will have to discover that for himself. |

Best that we make our own choices about what we let happen to ourselves. There is so little else we have control over. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Thanks Earl, I think pimping for himself is a little safer, because he doesn't always snag a client. Also, Bones gets to play a roll in deciding who his clients are. With Madame Queen, there was no choice. Bobby |

Thanks Andrew, Bones prefers to make his own choice of clients. Bobby |
