The Anything Box

Story Summary

A teacher is captivated by the behavior of one of her students, Sue-Lynn, who seems to be peering into a box she holds in her hands, but there is nothing in her hands. Each time the teacher comes close, Sue-Lynn appears to put away the box. As their relationship warms, Sue-Lynn lets the teacher look into her "Anything Box" and the teacher marvels at what she sees...anything, anything she wants.
