Bat'ling Thoughts Just when I thought I made it through, a shadow streaked across my view. Diving here and twisting there avoiding what I mostly fear. Cell phone dialing under seige: Internal screams of "Help me please!" Until flying act is gone, Bat'ling thoughts live on and on! M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

ah.. for such small creatures they do seem to inspire a dread in most... I found this and enjoyable read ma'am...but wanted to know the follow up, how is it resolved, for it reads like the beginning of a tale.... very nice |

They induce mysterious fear, but they are fascinating beings when you think of their abilities! Very nice work, dear Maureen. Love, Margherita |

Awsome! I've been in caves and seen these suckers first hand, although not the vampire kind. I love the rhythm, and the quick images brought up match the timing well. Thanks. Regards, Novus_Os |

Thanks everyone. I know bats have their use but when they find their way indoors to fly overhead when I am sitting in the dark watching tv, I jump and run and try not to scream as I did two years ago in such a high pitch that it came after me thinking I was its mate ( I guess! It was caught in a towel and set free...not by me I have had a fear of bats since a young child.M |
