It's a mad, bad world out there. A world where children are named after their most obvious characteristic, from Gurl (a girl) to Bug (who isn't actually a bug, per se, but who does look a lot like one). A world where birds are worshiped, cats are ostracized and everything else is locked up in a zoo. A world with super-powers to rival anything from ''Heroes'', (flying, turning invisible, that sort of thing), and where there are people with grass for hair, and zips for mouths. A world where monkeys control minds, where there are giant rats obsessed with cats and where you can only be who you are when you forget what you were.
