helicopter and the snow - a short story by me
***prelude***
snow and ice in st. louis, it is evening, everyone has made it safely home, dinner has come to a close. helicopter must now poop. but where the turds shall fall is the question of the moment.
***act one***
andrea and helicopter exit the apartment. heli first sets foot in the icy slush. immediately, it is decided that slush is a delicious delicacy and it is up to helicopter to personally consume the whole block's worth. after a time, heli pukes, and the pair moves on across the pillowed median of the darkened street.
***act two***
miraculous discovery. there are leaves below the snow. if we don't conquer the leaves, who will? leaf slapping ensues, more puking follows.
***act three***
andrea gets antsy and decides to urge the walk forward toward The Loop. a slight impasse when they reach the street - it has become a slushy gorge of wet snow. helicopter gives the snow a good barking and once it is properly subdued, gives the go-ahead to move on.
***act four***
helicopter finally decides it is time to poop. directly in front of the library, and several police officers. as we have learned from Peanut, it is ALWAYS best to poop with an audience. the pair heads home.
***finale***
andrea attepmts to assert her independence by entering the apartment by the fire escape in the back of the apartment despite repeated recommendations to instead enter via the enclosed front stairs. after two steps andrea falls. heli falls. the two slide to the front of the apartment, and enter, defeated. heli poops in the kitchen.
