Dark scary road, things flying through the air, adrenalin rush…

Across the canal from where I was running, there was a facility that had very large spotlights. Just like in Florida, where there are big lights, there are big bugs buzzing about. Unlike Florida, there are very big bats that eat the very big bugs. The section of road that I was running on was very dark, secluded and across from a feeding ground—a perfect place for the bats to call home. Well, since it was just before sunrise, the bats decided to turn in for the “night”. Then along I came. Needless to say, when you spook one bat, all 500 of them join in the action. Before I knew it, they we swarming around me. Several of them hit me in the head and face—I think they may have been confused by the noise of my headphones. If anyone has been to the bat cage in the Singapore zoo, this was 1000 times worse.
