Regenerate

"Who are your people?" It's a question often asked by Southerners when they meet a stranger. Most of us know very little of our ancestors. John Bishop XIII was born into a line of wealthy, savvy, thrifty Scottish descendants who made him a very wealthy man, but his parents had never wanted children. He was conceived by accident, and his father tried to have the fetus aborted. John's mother did love him, but he was relegated to a place behind her illustrious musical career. His father simply ignored him. Their self-centered lack of empathy would lead to their murders and to several attempts on John's life. John found solace in his own music as he struggled to regenerate himself.
