Death By Helium
by Robert Joseph Ahola
Synopsis: A hopelessly depressed young female stockbroker has decided to commit suicide by ingesting large quantities of helium. For better or worse, she has chosen to do so by a massive intake of party balloons. While sitting on a park bench and trying to inhale them one at a time, she is encountered by a homeless (black) man with a surprising resume and a very spiritual outlook on life.
