"THE BOX"
Her eyes furtively slip to the small writing table. They dart from silver notebook to blue pen to pink cell phone. Her trembling, ambivalent hand reaches out and retracts.
If she calls, he'll contact the lawyer and win again. If she doesn't, she's the victim again and he wins.
Trapped in a box of fear.

Oooh! I had to read this one a few times. Very well written, PG.
leaves me wanting more, is this to be continued?
I actually thought about titling my Flash Fiction 55 "The Box" Part I, but didn't.
Maybe I will do a Part II.
Lady-in-a-Box!
Mommie, will the man saw the box and the lady in half?
Where is the man on the phone?
What is ambivalent?
Are all lawyers bad people?
Why is the lady afraid?
Mommie why are you driving so fast?
