Hello everyone! I decided to write something different this time around. This is in second person, and is helium inflation instead of blueberry. I'm still working on Chemistry Gone Wrong Part 3. Also, bonus points to whoever can figure the inspiration of the whole "punishment" idea. Without any further ado, let's get this show on the road!

SKY HIGH
You find yourself in a rather compromising position. Your ankles and wrists have been tied tightly by ropes connected to the four corners of the room that you’re trapped in. You try to scream out but nothing comes out of your mouth, and that’s when you feel something odd inside your mouth. It’s some sort of one-way valve that traps anything that enters your mouth from ever leaving. After you squirm for a few seconds in vain, you start to be sprayed all over with some sort of gas, causing you to cough as the gas covers your body. Once the gas dissipates, you see that your body now has a shine to it, like it’s made of latex or rubber. As it so happens, that gas just gave you a few properties that you’re going to be very very familiar with. First, that gas makes your body be able to hold much more than it normally would be able to. Second is that no matter what happens to your body, no matter how hard it’s poked or squished, you won’t ever pop. Of course, you don’t realize or even know this yet, you’re just worried about what’s going to happen next. Out of nowhere, a mask clamps over your mouth and starts forcing another gas down your throat. Your belly starts to swell, but instead of feeling heavier, you start to feel lighter. Your body continues to swell as it starts to float upwards, and that when you release that you’re being filled with helium! You continue to swell, your body becoming spherical as your limbs get sucked into your body, leaving only your hands, feet, and head sticking out. You float higher and higher until the ropes tied to you stop you. You feel yourself getting bigger and bigger, reaching 6 feet, 7, 8, 9, 10 feet in diameter! The mask finally lets go of your mouth and retracts and for a moment nothing seems to happen. If this was all that your punishment consisted of, that wouldn’t be bad. Sure you’re a big balloon unable to deflate, but at least that’s the end of it. But that isn’t the end of it. You hear some machinery operate high above you as you see the light of the night sky above you. You hear the ropes get cut and you start ascending again. You start panicking as you realize that you have to stop your ascent somehow, or else you’ll be floating in the sky! You flap your hands and wiggle your feet in an attempt to move away from the roof, but it’s all in vain. You slowly continue to float up as you wiggle until you feel something push against your belly very hard and propel you upward quickly. You close your eyes and scream, silently of course, as you quickly leave the room you were in and go higher and higher. It feels like you’re being punched in the gut and should burst at any second! But you don’t pop, and once you’re in the clouds, you fall off of the rocket that forced you this high up and start to drift away. As you’re caught by a gust of wind and blown towards who knows where, you start to realize how gruesome your punishment is. You’re all alone in the clouds at the whim of Mother Nature’s winds. You can’t deflate or say anything due to the valve in your mouth, and you can’t pop to escape being a balloon, and it’s very unlikely that someone will find you and rescue you. All you can do now is flap your hands around, think about what you did to deserve this punishment, and accept your fate as a permanent balloon.
