There was a bat in my house when I woke up.
A BAT.
It wasn't flying around, just snoozing on my living room floor. I was quite amazed, I hadn't left any windows open overnight. It must have gotten in during the 20 minutes that I had a window open and unguarded. Either that or it found another way in, which would be somewhat alarming.
In any case, there was this bat, and I had to do something about it.
At first I thought it was dead, but as soon as I went to poke it it twitched and hissed at me, so some caution was required. After some deliberation, I picked up a top to a cardboard box and carefully shoveled it out on to my balcony, aided in the last five feet by it grabbing on to the box and hanging on it long enough for me to carry it out.
So now there's a bat on my balcony. I expect if it is well it will get up and fly off at some point, and if it's not, well, that's why god made squirrels.
ETA: Well, it was gone when I got home, so either it flew off or something took care of it. Leaning toward the former, no sign of blood or anything
