Hello…

$OM is dead 😭😭😭

I am a bat.

I do not drink blood. I do not want to get caught in your hair.

If I accidentally come into your house, please do not hit me with a broom or a stick… it hurts a lot, and I am very scared.

I did not mean to scare you. It was a mistake.

If I fall to the ground, I may not be able to take off again by myself.

Just help me with a towel to get me back outside… I will fly away immediately, I promise.

I eat mosquitoes and many other pesky insects.

But our homes — the old trees, the abandoned attics — are slowly disappearing.

We hardly have any places to shelter anymore.

So, if I get lost in your house,

switch off the lights inside, turn on a lamp outside, and leave a door or a window open.

I will find my way back quickly.

Please… be humane.

I want to live too.
