Lanny Swartz has returned home after studying in Cape Town. It was early in the morning: he went off the train and, and took a deep breath. Finally, he's home. The realisation of that was something new to his mind. He came closer to the ticket collector and shared his happiness. Suddenly, he remembered the unwritten rule: do not speak to a white man unless he spoke to you first. Lanny felt the man glaring at him till he crossed the coffee-stall. There were two men drinking coffee. Seeing Lanny in his suit and shoes, they couldn't believe their eyes. "Hey! You! Come here!" one of them shouted. Lanny walked across the narrow road and stopped right in front of this man. "where are you from", he said, inspecting Lanny with eyes. "Cape Town".
"What are doing there"
"Living"
"Haven't seen you around"
"I was in Cape Town for seven years"
"Studying?", " What do you mean"
"I mean exactly what I said" - after this replique, the man punched Lanny into his face twice. Lanny stood still, just licked his lips, dropping a patch of blood, smirked.
"Don't smile at me" said the man. That's the reality of South Africa, where black people get abused for being independent. The man threatened him again. Lanny stared at him the last time, turned around and walked away. The angry man kept insulting Lanny, but he kept on despite the little fear. This is the way home.
