It was pitch black inside Susan Mitchell's cell. She could not see or hear anything. She had no idea where she was, although she assumed she was once again on display in the atrium of West Valley Academy, where here naked body had been used and abused so many times this year. She had time to think about the symmetry of this week's abuse. She had started the week confined inside a small wooden box, built around her by her classmates, left with only her head sticking out the top, her only company a small vibrator buzzing inside her. Now her nude body was free of any kind of bondage, but her head was trapped inside a wooden box. She had time to think about the symmetry of this. She had all the time in the world to think because there was nothing else she could do but lie and wait for freedom.
The box, or rather, the boxes, around her neck were designed to cut her off from the outside world. These boxes, like the one earlier this week had been custom built around her, designed especially for her. She had been brought down in the morning to the shop wing, where the industrial arts were taught at West Valley and sat in a wooden chair in the middle of the room, almost like an art exhibit. She had some experience with that this year, too.
A student approached her with a flexible tape measure, like the kind used for sewing, and measured the circumference of her neck. She was frightened about the boy's intents as he went to a band saw and began cutting a plank of wood. He returned moments later with two halves of wood with semicircles cut in them, which he placed around her neck. Small wooden pegs inserted in the ends would hold these tight, fastened with wood glue. A few small strips of board were added underneath along the front and back edges to ensure this wooden collar would not be removable. The board already felt heavy around Susan's neck. The boards fit almost perfectly around her, with just a small gap, and even though they did not choke her, her pulse was already quickening. Two other students brought over some other planks of wood and placed them under the wooden platform to support it, lifting it up so it her chin rested on the board.
