Helium Days

By Lily Markova

Second edition. Previously published as Joy Cancer by Lily Markova]

A girl called Joy is lying on a wild beach of a small island in the Indian Ocean. She has a plastic bag filled with helium over her head. Within a minute, Joy will fall asleep. In five minutes, her brain will be irreversibly damaged. In ten, she'll be dead.

Unless, of course, someone rips the bag eight minutes in, ruining everything.

So begin the helium days--soulmates and soap bubbles, parties and prisons, fairy lights and fistfights; fish to be saved, hearts to be broken and healed, lies to be believed and truths to be forgotten; dancing on the subway, setting laughter epidemics in motion, and maybe even starting a riot.
