Return to UKOO
By Don Hurst
He's a successful homicide cop, not a young hero. So what is he doing back in a land he doesn't even remember? Is life itself a wizard illusion? Return to UKOO has some fun with the answer.

Description
Twenty-two years ago, Dale Hern dropped into existence out of nowhere, and became a homicide cop with peculiar powers. Aha, you say! Intrigue, suspicion, and mystery. Well, yes. And no. Dale Hern, you see, was a great dragon-killing hero in the land of UKOO, but due to a major indiscretion, he was exiled and his memory wiped. On his fortieth birthday, he's yanked through a magic mirror, and is expected to save the ungrateful world of UKOO once again. There's a problem, though. UKOO rhymes with cuckoo-for good reason. UKOO is a land of slapdash buffoonery, with midgets riding ducks, ridiculously vain wizards, and magic mirror tongues. Yes, you read that correctly. After Dale has a particularly trying time with the queen, who was an old lover, he thinks: "I want to find someone to love me, someone who doesn't slap." Flights of fancy abound, too, with such matter-of-fact as: "Sometimes a dragon is just a dragon."
