Honeypot

2016-02-04

_Honeypot_ is the technical term for what I do; only the unprofessional and ignorant think it an euphemism for _whore_.

Some colleagues use the word to describe systems designed to capture information about whoever breaks into them, while for older ones it's still a byword for tactical seduction.

Both apply now: I stare into his eyes to let my contacts photograph his retina, while my nails grab skin cells from his back and my ears record the full range of his voice.

His biometrics are mine now. I put my hand over his heart, and record it too.
