A young man was stumbling about in his house in his kitchen. It was too dark to see, at least for now, as his eyes were adjusted to the overhead lights that had just gone out. In fact, looking out the window, he saw that the neighbors’ houses had gone dark as well. A power outage, it seemed.

He continued stumbling through the dark, before feeling sharp fangs penetrate into his neck. He panicked for a bit, fearing that grues were real after all and he was about to be eaten by one, but then... nothing else happened. He was simply left with a very sore neck and no clue what had just happened.

He continued stumbling about, his stumbling getting even worse as he started to feel funny, tripping over his own clothes which were starting to feel more and more loose around him, somehow managing to start falling down around him after a while. Then suddenly, the lights came back on.

He tried raising up his hands to feel, finding that he no longer had hands at all, but instead bat wings. Indeed, looking himself over, he found that he had turned into a cute little brown-furred bat!

Had the bite done this to him? Looking around, he didn’t find anything that could have been responsible for the bite, though he did discover just how massive the kitchen around him was now. Indeed, it was no wonder his clothing had fallen off, as it now looked as if his clothing were made for a giant. But no, it was him who’d gotten much, much smaller.

But wait, he had sharp fangs... he must have been a vampiric bat, right? Indeed, that had to be it! It was October, close to Halloween, during a dark and spooky night! How could it not be the case?

In fact, he could sense it. He could sense his prey nearby! Letting his instincts take over, he quickly took flight, flying up atop the counter and sinking his new fangs into his prey, sucking the juices from its body through his fangs, getting his fill.

His prey... was a strawberry. But having been drained of its fluids, it was now colored white instead of red. He gave a heavy sigh, covering his face with a wing. “Look out world, here comes Tiny Unthreatening Bat Bunnicula...”
