The Big Black Box
by Cleve Haubold
Synopsis
In this frighteningly funny parable of a modern man who puts all of his eggs into the wrong basket and then falls into that basket, the gullible Arnold is lured into conversation with a mysterious black box.
The box tricks him out of his possessions and ultimately uses them to ensnare him.
Arnold nearly escapes, but the box plays on his weaknesses to trap him inescapably.
