Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
3:15 PM
In the five minutes since, Basil and Venus had decided to have a date at the fair. Thus with a time set to come and get her, Basil walked home with a smile on his face. Looking up to the sky, Basil thought of how good things were going that day. He almost expected the Death Bat to appear in the sky but to his great surprise it did not.
Stopping his tracks, Basil waited. Surely, it was going to appear in the sky any moment now… He waited for ten minutes but never did it appear. Sighing, Basil continued on his way. Just when he thought he had been savvy enough to know when the Death Bat would appear, it would disappoint.
He remembered Venus suffering the Death Bat at her window and coming to expect it to appear again. Yet it did not.
Sighing, Basil continued on his way home. There were other things to think about. He had to prepare for his date tonight. He could only hope that the Death Bat would appear at his bedroom balcony window. Then he could put an end to it with his knife.
Basil could dream. It was only human to dream and all who are human do. Still, the question of whether the dream will come true was one that was constant. Would the Death Bat appear on his bedroom balcony?
If it did then it did. That was simply how it was. If it didn't then it didn't. That too simply just was how it was. There was no grey area unfortunately.
