An evil sorcerer, Gavin Vandeville, the scourge of the land, finds he is defeated unconventionally and very humiliatingly. No big final clash against the hero, the Princess Knight Angelina, pitting strength and skill against pure magic. Just.. a send-off to the tune of a kazoo and an unexpected fall down some stairs. Later he wakes up in a strange room, his memories gone, all but for his name, and the name of his kitten familiar, the faithful Atticus Vinch the III, with him in his last moments as the most powerful sorcerer in the three kingdoms, and now with him again as he recovers from the blow to his head that lost him all his memories. Now a prisoner, Gavin must navigate this confusing and frightening time of not really knowing who he is, just vague impressions and foggy shapes in his memories. Where does he go from here? How does he function with no identity? Just stories of who he used to be that are meaningless, the life of a stranger. Extra note: This is a rough draft so there's missing parts as I jumped forward in time and got stuck on scenes I'm not sure if I'm going to expand on. I definitely have a problem being unable to "Show don't tell." But critique would be welcome. I wrote several days straight until I came to a stand still and am working on a second draft even as I post this, but if I get any attention and people share thoughts it'll help.
