Bugs and Bats

The first rain brought with it a swarm of flies. It was the first plague I have ever experienced and I pray it will never happen again. I told God that if it was to continue that I wanted to go home...immediately. Fortunately the bugs were only staying for a day. But the next night something in my spirit wasn't allowing me to sleep, I'm still not sure what was going on but I woke to the sound of wings in the night. As I slowly became more conscious of my surroundings I realized something was flying in my room. I opened my eyes to see something gross and black crawling up my mosquito net toward my unfortunate hole at the top, aiming to do serious harm to me I was sure. I crouched as low as I could to my bed as I slowly pulled out the net from being tucked and crawled on the floor to the light switch. I switched on the light and this motion drove the creature to a maniac state where it began to swoop and sway around my room. It was a BAT...UGH...I screamed and crouched down on the floor to avoid the blood sucking power of this disgusting creature...I rescued my pillow, crawled out of the room locking the door. Then I slept on the couch. It was quite the adventure and very unsettling. I asked Joe the next day to survey my house and kill any swooping creatures that meant me harm. He went over with a big bamboo stick but the bat was no where to be found, thank goodness!
