HOMECOMING

in the village square, he began to protest.
Suddenly, the place burst into light. Festooned with dried
rice stalks, the square erupted with fireworks and the cheers of the entire
village. His father stood beaming and his mother rushed forward to embrace him.
He had returned after 10 years, the hamlet’s first qualified
doctor.
