High On Helium by TBA

by The Inflated Storyteller

Wile E. Coyote (Loony Toons) Roadrunner (Loony Toons)

As usual, Wile E. Coyote is dreaming up a way to catch the Road Runner. Wile E. takes a helium tank and inflates a giant balloon so he can drift over the bird and pounce on him from overhead.

Just as the coyote finishes inflating the balloon and tying it off, he looses his grip and balloon sails away. The next thing you know, The giant balloon,amazingly, is caught between a bush & cavern ledge.

While speeding by, the Road Runner notices the balloon is caught, so he decides to free it and set loose. When Road Runner take a poke at the balloon, the balloon doesn't budge. Nudging it again, it only wobbles a bit. Finally the Road Runner takes a peck at the 'loon, only to find his beak trapped between the rubber encased orb.

Quickly, the Road Runner's body inflates into a huge round balloon ! Only the bird's head and feet retained their size. Totally helpless, the helium balloon shaped Road Runner begins to float upwards.

The nearby Coyote sees this incredible site and decides to catch bird as he drifts by.

The coyote easily reaches out and grabs the beachball-shaped bird by it's legs. Obviously excited by seeing the bird in it's round, helpless state. The coyote starts to fantasize about eating this big bird, also, he dreams about the bird if it were a little larger.

Without thinking twice, the Coyote shoves the hose from his helium tank into the Road Runner's mouth.

Within seconds, the Road Runner's body grows bigger and rounder. The giant balloon is nearly the size of a Macy's parade float. Bigger and rounder thr bird grows out of control ! Not wanting to loose the bird he has chased for so long, The Coyote grabs on the Road Runner's leg as they drift into the sky. What a site to see, a coyote grasping on for dear life from a giant round Road runner balloon.

After nearly 2 hours of floating in the sky, the coyote's stomach starts to rumble. He then gets the bright idea to take a bite from the captured Road Runner.

CHOMP ! Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...

After a minute, we fade up from black to see:

"Anybody for a Coyote balloon ride ?" Says the Road Runner's sign, just before "THE END" flashes on the movie screen.
