I found this story very unique and interesting...I could understand both of the characters and feel the connexion between them.

This made me laugh and then reflect; always a great combination. Loved it Mr Profitron.

Another good read - a little more uplifting than the last :P

Would have been interesting to get the backstory on why his nickname is bones.

Thanks, Jacques. I find it hard to balance brevity with backstory. If pacing wasn't a concern, I wonder how far the mind would wander into the world.

For 1/2 the story I was expecting a corny pun about his nickname being "Bones" whilst robbing a sperm bank.

I had a one sperm-related joke limit, and I used the shooting blanks joke. I didn't want to blow my load on those and get in the way of the more... serious themes.

Another instant classic from Mr Profitron. Great pacing and surprisingly moving at the end.
