Makes him look creepy at first, then you can flip it when he turns out to be okay. <br /><br />Or maybe he's a Raskolnikov (Crime and Punishment) type who has done something terrible, got away with it, and ends up confessing it to a prostitute. He's helping her as part of his atonement.<br /><br />These are probably a bit lame, but it's worth exploring things which seem to mess up the story at first, but then you see they make it stronger. <br /><br />I'd be wary of 'sainted whore' and 'poor unfortunate' cliches.

Ultimately, how will that make him different from her clients.<br /><br />It doesn't mean he has to turn up in a flipping limo and take her away to a much better life with sunny skies and fluffy bunnies.<br /><br />Why not just some form of companionship - treating each other like people and finding brief moments of normality in their lives. Of course it depends on what this other character's deal is.Good Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789861569691613179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23732661.post-81191714713307644632007-01-11T20:33:00.000+00:002007-01-11T20:33:00.000+00:00The latter one I would say Dom.
