In “Pretties / Serpent,” a Nigerian secretary is transformed, both spiritually and physically, when she is hired at a new job by The Boss.

STORY EXCERPT:

     You know, Floyd Eileen was once a church girl.
     That good soul still wants to shine through her, which is why her skirts never rise above the knee, and her teeth are always minty fresh after she gets off her knees from praying to Him. She wears lipstick now that she works here, and she pays attention to the sunburn of her gold jewelry, the choke of her own scent.
     Floyd is a Secretary to the Boss, who has a hundred and one Secretaries stalking the halls of the Office of Inflammations, long-limbed and supple, their fishnets lacerating like untethered tongues, their pastel and leather suits impeccable, choice jewelry sparkling and clinking small small.
     The impact of their heels against the clean marble is like gunshots, as the ones not active with Him inside the Head Office laugh and scream with themselves . . .
