The Bat

Huarez followed the red bat with his eyes. It was looping, dogfighting, diving, sailing.

It was infected.

Shooting bats was a tricky game; your shot either hit the bat or scared it off. Huarez had never missed.

The trick was to catch it in a “long dive”, when it dives down for about a second without swooping back up or veering to either side. The window that afforded was infinitesimally small. If you aimed for a long dive and misjudged the bat’s course, it would jerk away as you pulled the trigger.
