Chiroptera Therapy, by Mark Tulin

It began as a typical session.
The patient shared.
I commented.
The patient shared some more.
Then the winged-creature arrived.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it climb the sofa while my anxiety-ridden patient remembered a salient childhood memory, a clinical breakthrough.
I watched the bat inch behind her as the patient moved toward a resolution of a problem that had been haunting her for over a decade.
Thinking that the bat was a good omen, I kept silent as it rested on the middle shelf of my bookcase feeling quite proud of himself.
Crow On The Wire 
Awesome. Definitely an omen.
Thanks,tara.
good one; I like the bat being pleased with itself; I like these 100 word stories; the Drabble website is a good place for them; I’ve had quite a few of my pieces published there with varying results: ‘An Off Day’ was the most recent but they gave it away too early by featuring a picture of the narrator 😦
