To Batcat
Chapter One
Nathan looked up from his meal and out the window. There was something pressed against the screen of the door. It was pinned there, moving as the wind blew it back and forth, back and forth. He thought it was very strange how it was moving. Was it a black plastic bag or a piece of paper or…no, it was furry, and it had a tail, and—
“It’s a squirrel!” Nathan yelled as he jumped up from the table.
He ran across the kitchen. His father and mother were right behind him. He skidded to a stop at the thin screen door standing between him and the squirrel. His parents stood beside him.
“It’s just a baby,” his mother said.
Instead of running away, the little squirrel continued to cling to the screen. It tilted its head to the side and looked in at them as they looked out at it.
“He’s so cute,” Nathan said.
“He is cute, but what’s he doing here?” his mother asked.
“Maybe he wants to come in and join us for supper,” his father joked.
