Black Dog's best friend

No cozy feathers, these wings. They are fleshy, black, repulsive webs between pointed claws. The natural repose of a bat is to wrap those wings around itself for it has no other comfort save the company of thousands of other bats. It is said that a Christian cannot be possessed because the indwelling Holy Spirit will not allow it. But the bat can land on the head, wrap those wings around the eyes and hang on tight, those claws tangling in the hair. And penetrate into the mind? I don't know. But indwelling or not, this demon creates havoc. It can blind and force us to smell its stench and drop its guano all over us. Wretched creature. Would the day comes soon when it is forced to its final home.
