What I Would Do if I Could Fly

Like most of the posts on this blog, this is something that almost everyone has thought about at some point in their lives. In fact, this is such a common thought that I think that we might have already talked about it on this blog. I'm not sure (I didn't want to check in case we had already done it and I had to think up a new prompt), but we might have. Just throwing that out there.

I've always thought that flying was a bit overrated, but perhaps there is something to be said for it...

1. If I could fly, the main thing I'd do would be fly. Loops, dives, twirls, the whole lot. I'd race birds, skim lakes with my toe as I flew over them, shoot a thousand feet up and then dive back down. It would be pretty cool.

2. One thing that I would be happy to do would just be to cruise along the ground with my mouth open, like a dog hanging his head out of the window. Imagine the wind whipping your hair! The only problem would be bugs flying into my face.

3. Unfortunately, I would also be constantly worried. Remember the Wendy-bird from Peter Pan? What if some hunter thought that he'd found some large crow? It would be the end of me.

4. Also, I'd be freaked out about planes. In the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game, Harry and Ron nearly have their car torn to bits by a passing airplane. An innocent flying human would be at risk as well. 

5. And biggest problem of all would be the media. I mean, you make one wrong move, somebody gets a picture of you, and the next thing you know the CIA is trying to capture and research you. It would be terrible.

And so, in short, I still think flying is overrated. Yup, it's another happy post from Mark!

By the way, Laura... I challenge you to the million dollar prompt, with the same restrictions. I'm curious to see what you'd do.
