Batman Returns

See the dark area in the net... that's the bat.I was sitting here in my room at the computer before when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and my first reaction was "bird!" But as I was running out of my room, I realized it was a bat. I ran down the hall. I didn't close my door at first, so I thought maybe it escaped and flew up the attic, where I assume it came from, since my dad or I couldn't find it in the room. We had a big fishing net just in case. This was about a half-hour ago. So, still feeling unsettled, I sat back at the computer hoping it had escaped but with the fishing net at my side. The bat returns a few minutes ago. Yikes, I jumped up again as I did before. It flew out of the bottom of my curtains. I grabbed the net and swatted blindly a few times to no avail and ran out of the room. My dad came back up and managed to snag it. Eek! I thought it might have been dead because it was trapped in the net and on the floor. And my dad sort of stepped on it. We took it outside and I snapped a picture en route. The bat didn't move on the way but when my dad dumped it out onto the road, it barely hit the ground and flew away into the night sky.
