The Death Master Chronicles

The old sailor pulled out a stub of a pencil from a soiled shirt pocket and began to cross out letters on the drink coaster. The circular piece of paper had the words "The Brass Monkey" in a nice scroll at the top and then a picture of three monkeys in the center, with the additional worlds, "see, hear, speak, no evil" underneath. He first removed, 'no evil', and then began to systematically pencil out all the letters in "The Brass Monkey" which were not contained in 'see, hear, speak'. This left H. E. Rasske on the face of the coaster. An alert waitress soon picked up the empty drink glass and paper coaster returning both items to the bartender. In this manner, word reached Rasske quickly that someone needed to talk to him.
