Female Inflation

Lauren didn’t see what the big problem was going to be, after all, she had been a babysitter since she was 13. Now, six years later, she was in for the biggest surprise of her life. She approached the old colonial house, not seeing any problem.

Angela tossed and turned in her bed for almost an hour before deciding to open her bedroom window, hoping a cool breeze might ease the hot summer night. She tied back the curtains before lighting a citronella candle and placing it on the window sill to keep the bugs out. She laid back down and before closing her eyes again imagined the flickering candle to be that of a candlelit dinner for two. As she focused on the idea of having the reality of a love life, the curtains fluttered and a blue balloon about four inches in diameter drifted in with the breeze.
