Fred Alexander is kidnapped by a man who wants him dead, and he takes Fred to a place he doesn't know to kill him, but he won't stay dead; no matter how many times he kills him, he keeps coming back to life.

Fred Alexander woke up cold, naked, and afraid in a dark cupboard one day after he'd been to the pub. He thought he must have been really drunk to be like this, and wondered if he'd done something stupid.

Fred, being an enchanter, tried to leave with magic without opening the door; being naked, it would look a little odd to just stroll outside. Realising someone had cast an entrapment spell on it. It wasn't one of his kind the magicians it was more likely a human, it was clumsy but effective. Fred realised it was a trap and he couldn't escape.

Fred saw blood on the floor, his blood. He was confused and scared.

Not a kid's book, obviously
