yes - i guess this day was bound to come... the purple villita, 122 years young, is infested with bats. at the moment (with garlic tied around my neck and wooden stake at my side) there have been no sightings tonight. that is, inside. however, over the past three days, five bats have lost their lives and a sixth has gone missing within these lilac walls. i am starting to think that death befell these creatures because of ben and his stealth. had i not inturrupted, ben would have killed the sixth and missing bat. at least i would have known where it rested. and in death, these flying creatures emit the most putrid smell, as if hell itself has opened its gates to welcome them back home.

all i ask is that they stay outside.
