Skull-Face
by Robert E. Howard
Boxer Steve Costligan wakes up in darkness at Yu Shantu's Temple of Dreams, a nest of mystery in London, England. He again imagines what he calls the "Face of the Skull" and is stunned by its meanings. He's broken and needs more marijuana, a drug he's addicted to. In a collision with the janitor, Hassim Kostigan informs him of the lack of funds. Hassim immediately throws him through the front door. With bruises and hemorrhages, a young woman, Zulika, helps Kostygan's legs.
