No, not baseball bats, but flying bats. I live by a park with an open field. Every night when I get home from work, I take my dog out for a walk. I love my dog.
Lately though there has been an absorbent amount of bats by the park and they usually come out at sunset. You can see them flying from tree to tree and they are pretty darn quick.
But this strange thing happened to me when I was walking my dog last night, there appeared to be more bats then usual. As we headed into the field, I noticed they were kind of flying pretty low. I mean they always flew low, but this was lower then usual.
So my dog was doing 'his business', enough said on that, when this thing flew so close to my face, I could actually feel a little breeze as he flew by.
As I bent over to pick up my dogs 'gifts', another one came flying by, missing my head about an inch.
I started to get a little freaked out, so I took the dog and said 'it's time we get out of here'. As I was walking to get out of the park, another and another bat started to fly by my house, one actually hit my head.
I felt like I was in that Hitchcock movie, 'the birds'. The faster I walked, the quicker they came.
I started running and they started flying, that I had to start swiping the darn bats away.
Even though I know they are harmless, I couldn't help but think that maybe I disturbed their nest, that's even if bats have nests. I don't know.
So I left the park, and all was quiet, and as I looked back as the sun was going down, I can see their small little fluttering bodies flying amok in the sky.
I think tonight I'll walk my dog in the opposite direction and deal with the horrible neighbors who peek out their windows to see if I am going to 'pick it up'.
