He decided that it was time to come up with a PSEUDONYM, so that soon after the publication of the novel and the publication of the article, the crowd would not reveal his identity. Nervously pacing back and forth in his office, he fiddled with his jacket and his wooden COMB fell out of his pocket on the floor. He picked it up and, hearing the STORM begin, stared out the window. There was silence in the house and no one heard how a man in a black raincoat and mask came into the office and stabbed the writer with a KNIFE.
