The Golden Letters
Rosalie Fusseltoes sits in her tower office of glass, twenty-one floors above the Burds as she calls
them, patting her pressed white suit, senior officer in the Los Angeles office of ICE – U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, looking at her desk with a picture of her daughter’s wedding – with the man
torn off. Eunice Fusseltoes fell in love with Alberto Martinez, the wrong man – and Rosalie has not let
one day pass without reminding her.
She looks over the brown files that inhabit her desk -- striking out every case she can get revenge.
Wielding her form of justice, with a sword and a hatchet.
Jeremy Gorgenson, inhales, hesitates for a moment, then he enters her office.
“Here is the file you requested,” he says, shaking, as he hands it over to her.
“There, the empty spot on my desk,” Rosalie insists.
Jeremy looks at the five stacks of files, blending into each other.
“HAND IT TO ME!” Rosalie shouts, standing up for a moment.
He lays it on her desk, relieved she does not ask for anything else.
