Okay, so it's 2:10 am, I wake up and meander over to the bathroom.
Before I turn any lights on, as I'm opening the washroom door, I notice this dark thing move swiftly from one park of the washroom to the other.
I'm not even fully awake yet, so I say, 'uh, hello?' as my mind processes this very strange occurance. The 'afraid' trigger hasn't kicked in yet AT ALL.
I poke my head in stupidly to see the dark thing on a wall. This is all within 2 seconds of the event. I get up close to it. BAM.
It takes off and flies right past my face and out the door, down the hall. I see the giant jagged outline of its wings like some horrible close encounter with batman. Yes, it was a goddam BAT.
So I scurried back into my room just out of the shock of the experience. In the few seconds my semi-working mind had to process it, it had come up with :
-- very very tiny flying human being (hey it's late)
-- a bird
-- a moth or bug
But definitely not a bat. Definitely not a close encounter with a bat.
So I sit in my room lying in bed naked (yes I was naked when this happened) breathing in and out. I hear the damn thing sqeaking or something outside.
Then a stack of books falls in my room, which makes me jump and starts my heart all over again.
And now I'm wide awake. And I think my roommate's girlfriend is in there. Oh man if she encounters the bat, she's gonna scream.
Ah... heart rate back to normal now. How do you kill a goddam bat?
