Publisher's Synopsis
In a quiet town in Thailand, a schoolgirl's strange obsession with her teacher is festering.
The nameless schoolgirl can't stop thinking about her kind, young history teacher. But her fixation on him isn't an ordinary teenage crush. She doesn't want to be with him the way the other girls do. She wants to have him the way one wants a pet. On the last day of the term, she abducts Teacher and keeps him strung up in the attic apartment above the one she and her half deaf-mother live in. The excitement of finally acquiring him, however, is short-lived. The botched abduction has harmed Teacher. As his days of captivity go by, he continues to deteriorate. Her desperate attempts to fix him soon devolve into acts of cruelty as she finds herself confronted by what drove her to obsess over him in the first place.
