Zayd Theresa Tammaro was born to a wily pentecostal minister and a children's book collector in a quaint suburb of Denver, Colorado. After denouncing God
at a ripe age of ten, Zayd spent much of her adolescence in girls homes and mental institutions. At sixteen, her valiant and mischievous cousin Marcus came
to her aid. They proceeded to reek havoc in Denver, Las Vegas, and various canyons in between. Atop a mountain, they triumphantly founded the infamous
Gothic Taliban. Her rescue and booming success had sufficiently reconciled her with Babylon, so naturally, Zayd left civilization on her baby blue bicycle
called Ursula, to live in a fox den in the Rocky Mountains. No one has heard from her since, save the brilliant Marvin Scott Marvin, to whom she
occasionally sends a messenger pigeon. The pigeon often carries excerpts of her memoirs, poetry, paintings, and miscellaneous colorful insects packaged
carefully in strands of her hair.
