The Box: An Indian Tale — J.C. Andrijeski

Priscilla putters along in her usual life of bridge and gossip and coffee shops and shopping at the local markets in the small Indian town where she lives. Until one morning, a mysterious man known only as the Pharsee gives her a box.

The thing is filthy, twitchy and just plain wrong…but no matter what Priscilla tries, or how many cleaning boys she fires, she simply cannot get rid of it.
