[there would be dialogue in this story:] (When I was still in high school, people would always call me "blind as a bat" - seeing as I was prone to tripping over books almost all the time. But if they called my girlfriend - Emily - "blind as a bat", they'd be right - because she's...well, she's part bat. More specifically, part vampire bat. She relies on her sense of hearing to sense the world around her - as her ears were the same as those on all kinds of bats. One day, I was returning home from a long day at work - and Emily suddenly flew right up to me with a joyful expression on her face, as if she had some big news to tell me.)
