A Midnight Bat

I had a mysterious mission tucked in my thoughts after coming back inside. Sneaking onto the corner of the low side table, I found an unfolded black cloth napkin resting beside a carved miniature pumpkin. With quiet tugs, I gathered the dark fabric and wrapped it neatly across my shoulders like a soaring midnight cape. Right across from me, a little ceramic Batman figurine stood on guard near the lamp. I slipped a folded scrap of black paper cut into bat wings behind his back, then struck my own stealthy crouching pose right beside him. We are ready for Halloween!
