Post 1552. Sunday June 18

Sunday Photo Fiction


I don’t miss much. Eagle-eyed, me. I should become a spy. I’d sit outside a café reading a newspaper with two holes cut in it to peep through. I could watch people’s reflections in shop windows. I could climb on roofs to get a good view; but then again, I don’t like heights.

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’d listen in to people’s calls and intercept their mail. I’d phone suspects 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!

I’d hide in wardrobes and under beds to see what mischief people are getting up to!

I could pretend to be a chauffeur and listen to secret conversations, or a cleaner so I could search through filing cabinets. I’d take photos of secret documents and take down numbers and addresses. 

I might even dress as a woman! Perhaps not!

Yes, I’d love to be a spy.





My little bit of silliness was suggested to me by this week's picture at Sunday Photo Fiction.

  4. I love all these cartoonish images of espionage! I really enjoy when a serious concept is done whimsically and this is a perfect example of that.

  6. The sort of spy that I wish was real instead of all this online snooping these days. Good fun.

  7. Recollected my days as a kid when we used to play Spy games...and most of them were inspired by Mr. Shrelock Holmes! Even today, I wont mind doning the hat of a "Spy"...the idea itself is so thrilling!!!
    And I loved the last line...to disguise as a lady!
    Good read!

  8. Don't know about being a spy, but more than once I've said I'd have liked to be a little mouse in the corner to hear THAT conversation! LOL

  10. It would be okay unless you're caught. I'd like the money a movie spy like one of the 007's made. Good writing, Keith. :) --- Suzanne
