I'm watching you!

This week one of the prompts on Matinee Muse is 'the spy in me'.

Wouldn’t it be fun to be a spy! I often imagine myself sitting at a cafe table reading a newspaper with two holes cut in it for my eyes to peep through. Or standing facing a shop window watching the reflection of someone on the other side of the road. What fun it would be to wear a false beard and moustache or pop a wig on my head! And I could have one of those big magnifying glasses!

I could listen in to people’s phone calls and intercept their mail. I could make phone calls with a handkerchief over the mouthpiece, and put on foreign accents. I’d have a little camera in my collar and a tape recorder in my hat!

Wouldn’t it be great to hide in wardrobes and under beds; see what people are getting up to and listen to secret conversations?

I can see myself disguised as a cleaner and searching through filing cabinets in closed offices. I’d take photos of secret documents and take down numbers and addresses.

One day I’d pretend to be a chauffeur and another butler. I might even dress as a woman!
.But it’s never going to happen. It’s fun to imagine though. I guess there’s always been something of the spy in me!
