hearing were keen, beyond my reckoning.
    When I landed on rooftops and stayed still for a minute, I could put my head to the roof and hear people sleeping. I think my hearing was sharp enough to count how many people were in the house.
    I landed on a roof of a large two story home. Feeling confident this house was empty, I checked the upper stories’ windows; I found one unlocked. I guess the owner had not pictured a vampire girl hanging from her toes that were attached to the gutters. Checking that particular window and finding it unlocked, with catlike grace I opened the window and jumped through it.
    Twisting through the air landing on my feet I was safe and sound inside. It appeared to be a boy’s room. The door was open so I stood there listening to make sure I was alone. Also I made a high pitch whistle, so, with my second sight, I could see down the hallway.
    I had noticed when I was jumping around town that, when I whistled, dogs barked or howled; I had used it to make my second sight come to life. I think but don’t know that maybe I was making the sound at such a high pitch that humans may not be able to hear it. If that were true, that would be handy and prove once and for all, that I was Bat Girl.
    I relaxed; the house was empty. I was wondering if I could stay all day without being discovered; I guess I would find out. As I looked around this boy’s room I started to take in some of the details, and something was very wrong. First, there was this huge box with a TV on top of it. In front of the box was what appeared to be a typewriter or maybe just the keyboard of a typewriter? The box said IBM. Ok I have no idea what that means.
    That wasn’t the strangest thing in this boy’s room. His bed cover was really crazy. On the cover there was the same picture over and over again; on the top of this picture were the words STAR WARS, in gold letters. Below was a picture of a man in a white bathrobe holding up what I guessed to be a flash light surrounded by robots and a giant robot with a black face in the background.  Okay, maybe his mom and dad were really creative or something, but then there were shelves of strange toys; where the hell do you buy this stuff?  I have been in toy stores, and never have I laid eyes on any of this stuff. Then there was a creepy doll robot guy. His face was the same as the picture on the bed, and he was holding what appeared to be a red stick. Maybe it was supposed to be a sword.
    Then I noticed the light outside. I was sidetracked by something really crazy. It was a clock; I have no idea how to describe what I am seeing, giant red numbers displaying the time 6:45 AM. Then the numbers switched with no moving parts to 6:46 AM… wow, no way. I need to get a hold of myself.
    The sun is rising; time to put a plan into action. I closed the window and quickly walked the whole upstairs trying my hardest not to get too distracted with all the stuff these people had that I have never laid eyes on before. I found the entrance to the attic, pulled the handle and up I went. Just as I thought, from the dust on the boxes, they only come up in the attic twice a year, one time to bring down the Christmas decorations and then a second time to put them away.
    Collecting some sheets, blankets and a pillow from what I deemed to be guest locations, I made me a little hidden bed, in the corner of the attic. Before the sun came up completely I had noticed that one of the rooms upstairs was an office. I bet a dollar that I could figure out where I was and what the date was. Some basic info would be nice.
    So I walked into the office and noticed, on the corner of the desk, some mail. Perfect, I picked it up; to James Richa, 304 High St, Collbran, CO 81624. Well one mystery put to rest. I am somewhere in Colorado; I camped a couple of times in Colorado with my folks. I was eight or nine, and I stayed almost a year with Star. She is the one who taught me how to sing. I miss her and wonder if I could look
