The Soft Stone

Usula grew up and got used to the freedoms and liberal life in Canada. To her that''s how the world should be. Her return home to attend college would prove otherwise however. The system in the Republic of Mannes permits the kind of subjugation students undergo under Ozambiya. They believe it is normal to suffer some humiliation and harassment to be adequately seasoned to qualify for their trade. In fact people take pride and brag about passing through and surviving Ozambiya. To Usula that was absurd and she resolved to not only turn the tables against Ozambiya but to prove to him and the rest of Mannes that women are after all able to beat men at their own game. Fate almost denies her that pleasure though. About the Author  Victor is a graduate of economics and holds an MBA. He has worked in marketing for thirteen years in various industries.
