FF – Mr Bond?
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Shaktiki Sharma.
It took ages to get the photo uploaded this week – it was a little buggy! Ha ha ha. Ahem. 🙂
Note – those aren’t typos in the final sentence, I was trying to do his accent.

“Wow, this new tech is great!”
“Yeah, it’s bug… which is a bug!”
“Fly closer, we need to hear what they’re saying.”
“Okay… wait, it’s veering off course… heading towards that ultra-violet light… oh no…”
Fzzzzt
“A bit too bug-like, perhaps?”
“We’re going down, we’re going down! Okay, we still have video and audio.”
“Who’s this approaching with the sharp suit and Martini, shaken not stirred… oh my word, it’s HIM!”
A foot descends, crushing the bug. The last the operators hear is a strong Scottish accent.
“High-tech amateursh. Now, where wash I, my dear…? Ah yesh, sho I shaid to M…”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

Ha, very good. Connery is a bit reclusive these days so maybe this would be a way to see what he’s up to! 🙂

Dear Ali,
I’m shaking my head. Perhaps they should have kept to good old wire-tapping. Funny stuff.

When facing the best of the best–even if they’ve been out of the public eye for a bit–perhaps, known and reliable would be best. So much money squashed.

Ah, but to die under even the foot of the great Bond is an honour … Well, almost an honour.

Funny Ali is back! 😁
I cringe at the thought of the loud crunching sound of the huge bug being squashed…
LikeLike
Yep!
Fortunately it would just have been the crunching of springs and internal workings 🙂 Unless they taped a camera and control circuit to a real bug of course… cyber bug!

Hiding the “bug” in plain sight… kinda backfired, didn’t it?

Yeah, and you know it was probably that scoundrel Barack Obama who was doing the bugging. Jeesh, you’d think he had better things to do with his retirement! [j/k for those who don’t know me].
I love how you’ve imagined this, Ali. Funny and quirky as always. As to one’s favourite Bond age (ha!), I’ve always thought it depended on the Bond that was more contemporary to your time. In my case, Roger Moore. (Poor Timothy Dalton gets little credit, though I think he did a decent job. I’m not super-fond of Mr. Craig, though.) Anyyyyway, happy Friday. 🙂
LikeLike
I’m not overly fond of Daniel Craig either, he’s maybe a bit too serious for my taste. I loved Sean Connery and I also quite liked Pierce Brosnan, though in that case it may have been the story lines – quite tech and modern.
I’m glad you enjoyed my story and happy Friday to you too 🙂
