>Its late at night on a desert highway
-
>Stars fill the sky with the moon's rays illuminating the sparse vegetation off the side of the road
-
>It’s warm tonight. Your car windows rolled down as you take your trip to nowhere.
-
>It’s not as if you had any place to go in life. But at the last truck stop you stopped at word was this here was a particular country.
-
>Bat country.
-
>The crusty, and severely overweight, patrons warned you that no man came back who went there at night. Alone.
-
>All life you had been alone. And alone you went ignoring their warnings.
-
>Turning the dials on the radio only found late talk shows that lost your interest as fast as he dial turned.
-
>So you drove in silence. For hours.
-
>But just like you needed fuel to drive, you needed an empty bladder to drive comfortably.
-
>You pull over to the side of the road coming to a stop.
-
>You turn off the car and exit. Just a few feet away from the car is a berm that you climb in a few seconds.
-
> Coming down the berm for a few feet no one could see you with your pants down.
-
>And so there you were on a warm summer night, urinating on the desert floor with not a soul in sight.
-
>Yup zipping up your pants and turning around. Nothing but you and ...........
-
>Where’s the road? Where’s your car?
-
>Knowing you never did drugs and you haven’t had a drink since the road beer leads you to believe the road and your car should be here.
-
>10 minutes later and a 200 meter circle later.
-
>Ok you are lost.
-
>It’s quiet out here. Sure you heard a dull sound a few times during your search. Probably bugs.
-
>Now that is a weird looking cactus in the distance.
-
>So your car was over here and as was the road.
-
>Looking over your shoulder that cactus is closer...and its walking.
-
>Opening up your jacket you pop the top on your second road beer.
-
>Ahh that’s the stuff. There is that dull sound again, it sounded as if were just behind you.
-
>Twirling around with a steady hand on your beer, what is before is no cactus.
-
>It’s a horse but a bat. And it smiling at you.
-
>You take another drink and look at it.
-
>Feminine features with long hair and wide hips. Cat like eyes, furry tipped ears.
-
>Holding your can out
-
"Hey you want some , its all I got but you look thirsty to.
-
>The short horse bat approaches taking the can from your grip with her hoof.
-
>She sniffs the top of the can then tilts it to her lips, drinking sloppily from it. Droplets of beer fall from her lips onto the ground. She noisily slurps the rest of the contents down then hands the empty back.
-
>You chuck it behind you
-
"My names Anon and I have nowhere to go"
-
>"Well Anon I’m Starry Eyed and lucky you found me. Why don’t you follow me and we can get to a shelter."
-
>And so you did to a house not far away. Lightly furnished and small it was but cozy.
-
>She told you bats came out here searching for partners and then brought them back home. This wasn’t her home just a furnished stop for her kind
-
>She didn’t have to ask, you left with her in the morning.
