The Re-Genesis Hour
There was still half an hour before dawn when Gina, the serving maid, slipped open the door. The boy pulled himself down the steps, scuttling sideways on his misshapen stumps and keeping a hand on the railing for support. Once outside, he pulled himself through the dewy, cold-shock grass. The world was fresh and alive in its daily re-genesis.
A rabbit ducked out of a thicket to his left and he gave chase for the sheer fun of it. The rabbit won, escaping back to its hole just before the boy reached it. He laughed and stood there for a moment, palms flat on the ground, cold and wet.
He continued on, farther and farther until he reached a road he had never seen before, going down to a high iron gate. A car was coming down from the house, its powerful headlights sweeping over him as he ducked back into the bushes. Not fast enough. The car stopped and a man and woman got out.
“What in Heaven’s name is that? It’s hideous.”
“George, please. I—”
“What is it!”
“It’s your son, George.”

“I have a son?”

what is re-genesis?

It means rebirth or re-creation. I don’t think you’ll find it in any dictionary.

I want to know eeeverything about these people. You know, I just *hate* to point out the obvious, but you’re an amazing writer. 😛 Now give us more!

thanks for explaining, lately i cant find too many words that are common now in my dictionary, which is really old! so i either ask the writer or google. the writer is more reliable source though!
