I wonder how different our world would be if instead of hamster balls
they were hamster icosahedrons. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Nocturnal
Ben the bat just reached adulthood and so had become set in the ways
of his other bat brethren. Sleep during the day and hunt at night.
Like his brothers and sisters he used sonar during the night and what
he could of his eyes, bat's aren't blind as the saying goes but Ben
didn't get much use out of his in the darkness of night in comparison
to his sonar.
And so his life went. The usual cycle of hunt-sleep that animals are
bound by. However one spring an obnoxious snore woke Ben and he flew
out of the cave half-asleep. Only when the overwhelming brightness of
day hit him did Ben fully awake from his slumber and notice he was
flying out at the wrong time. No moon hung overhead, but rather the
Sun, making every single beautiful spring color visible.
The vibrant flowers, the strange animals, the new tones of every
object. Nothing was like it was at night. The world wasn't what it
was meant to be. Ben flew back into the cave and tried to forget it
all, sleep the day away along with all that sunlight and color so
that he could hunt in the night again.
