Horrible Bat

I just had a horrible experience. There was a bat in my house and unknown to me, I was absolutely terrified of it. I tried to get my dog and my cats to come in my room with me, but they were interested in that horrible thing, so I stood in my bedroom doorway calling to them and the horrid thing came right next to my door, so I slammed it shut and locked it and listening to the thing screeching outside my door, what a horrible scary noise. I was sitting in here crying wondering what to do, and then my horror was multiplied a hundred times...I heard my youngest kitty scream out in pain. Unable to get the strength to open the door I just started bawling, so I called Chris and had him come home and get that horrible thing out of my house. I know it sounds really silly, but that was one of the most horrifying things that has happened to me in a long time. I was shaking all over and flipping out, I thought for sure the thing had killed my baby kitty. All was quiet except the horrible screeching of the bat after that noise, so I feared the worst. It seemed like hours had passed while I waited for Chris to get here, when it was only like 15 minutes. I felt so helpless and terrified, yet it was only a tiny little creature. I know that my fear was unwarranted, but it was there nonetheless and no matter what I was terrified and scared beyond my wits. I've never been scared of anything like that before. This requires a lot of reflecting I think. I'm still shaky and it's been an hour and a half past the incident. How strange this all was. Well All my babies are ok, they've been thoroughly checked over and smothered with love, but it was really hard to hear that cry and be so helpless to get to her. Definite reflection is needed on this event, so I will reflect and post more later.
