Becoming involved in a puzzling complication that has to do with an object possessing mysterious powers in Chinatown, he rescues his integrity from a serious entanglement.

Prompt rules:
- It's going to be weird. It's pulp! Embrace the oddity and the strange juxtapositions! Use what works. Throw out what doesn’t fit.
- No, seriously, don't think too much about it. None of it is plausible; half of it isn't even possible. Just write!
- Why are you still here? The deadline is next week! Get writing!
