Male Inflation

(Author’s note: Bob and Mary experimented with a substance called felium or female helium a few months ago.  Its floatation properties are twice that of helium, but half the density.  Not a lot is required to achieve human lift.  They also discovered that after a month of taking felium pills, their bodies had adsorbed the felium and could produce it at will.

The day was like any other day, warm, sunny and blue.  Bob was returning home from work at his usual 6pm.  He worked like most others, nine-to-five and had a commute.  Bob was an average guy with a wife and two kids; the quintessential husband, father.  Normally he comes home, goes to the bedroom
