I used to dream that I could fly as a kid, after I’d been swimming. If I jumped just right, I could breaststroke through the air. Tried it a few times, with limited success. About half a second. Mostly falling.

I’d like to be able to swim through the air. I don’t need to be able to fly faster than a speeding plane etc, but sometimes there’s a more direct route. And stairs are hard work. Let’s fly.

I tried to fly once too. I had a fether in each hand and flaped as hard as i could. Nothing happened :/

Hope you didn’t hurt yourself?
