I grew up reading Piers Anthony (A Spell For Chameleon) Black Beauty, A Wrinkle In Time, and strangely enough, Stephen King novels.

Little did I know how much those books would influence me on my way to what I call “Bartworld,” my favorite escape from the world.

NO ONE would claim responsibility in the area to take care of it, (I spent HOURS on the phone trying to find someone in the area to take care of it, the whole time with the thing hanging off my fireplace) so I had to.

I coincidentally had a box with fixings (it was around Christmas at the time) to make a gingerbread house on my kitchen table, so I took everything out of the box and went up to the fireplace, prayed “please God help me!” and put the plastic top over the bat.

The bats wings shot out the minute I did, one wing wrapping around the side of the fireplace.

It took some serious maneuvering to get that wing back in under the plastic.

I was surprised to see…it was kinda cute, (lil furry thing) with a pushed in nose like a little pug dog, almost adorable even. He even had a cute widows peak and was furrier up top, like a little vampire) all this of course was in a Halloween freak you out movie kind of way. But he was HUGE!

Instead of just flying off my deck, it used its bat arms to do this little bat wiggle, going back and forth with what looked like to me like a half a body out of a horror movie wiggling back and forth.

It went over the first step on my deck and landed, feet hanging over the edge in a perfect bat hanging pose, poor thing, looking confused, like it should have been in a cave but was doing the next best thing.

Glad I could document that YES this actually happened and glad I got to take some pictures. (Sadly enough, most of the pictures are BLURRY. Poor thing kept looking at me cause the camera kept flashing…)

I could hear the poor thing like a banshee in my head screeching “LADY…WHAT THE “BLEEP” are you DOING? I’m trying to sleep here!!”

I finally decided to leave the poor critter alone so it could get some rest, and came back later and it was gone.

Later I realized that the pics I got were mostly blurry, but MAN the thing had a wingspan. (I got some pics of him doing the body shuffle)

This bat has been one of the coolest things that's ever happened to me. Other than the butterfly, which you can read about below.

I think the most fun place I’ve ever found…in my head. There are butterflies, (that is a whole different story…called "Bart Befriends A Butterfly" ) for the story about something heartwarming happening : a blue butterfly not leaving me alone and landing all over me when I was having a hard time, and the reason why it happened (including a picture I took of the butterfly) http://songsofaletheia.blogspot.com/2018/10/pauline-my-celebration-of-life-speech.html

To bees (some of which she and Bart hopes to save through stories) Look forward to “Bart Bumps into a Bee”(The Big Book Of B) the 4th book. (Buzz finds “Barbara bee- who is beloved to me!” lying on a table who is revived by Zoe in a easy way that anyone can try- Save a bee- I actually did! For real! )
