Chapter 3 : Flying!

The only think I could do was gape in shock at what was happening. I was flying!Not floating or slowing down my descent I was actually flying,changing my trajectory at will and everything.I had to concentrate a bit to actually move in a particular direction but doing superman poses(heh) helped.I suppose there was a reason he did that then.

It all started when I was checking out the small window in my vision with its wavy patterns.The problem was that it glitched out most of the time and only came back once every three minutes or so.If I concentrated hard enough I could hear jumbled voices from the window like when a corrupted audio file is played with different voices in different pitches making it impossible to understand what anyone is speaking.That gave me the idea that maybe the signal I was catching was maybe an actual radio signal.That threw me in a loop for a second but the things I had experienced upto this point had made my skin pretty thick(metaphorically and actually).

So I did what anybody would do when they get garbled audio on their radio,I increased the height where the receiver would be(me).So I knew that my normal jumps where I jump higher than the treetops I would not get the necessary signal as I had already done that before with no success while running here to the camp.No,to get a stronger signal I would have to jump even higher than normal.So I clenched my butt and jumped as high as I could which turned out to be pretty high as I was pretty sure that there was a small(compared to the crater I found myself in) crater where I stood.I ended up high above the clouds.All the while I kept my eye(get it?) on the window in my vision and as I suspected not only did the voices get clear,the number of windows also increased drastically to the point that I could not find the original radio signal I got on the ground.

Sighing at the futility of that action I chose to concentrate on the windows I was seeing and boy were there a lot of them.Just like my first time I opened my eyes,I was seeing what was most likely the information dump that was the internet just without any conscious thought on my process and as I know now browsing the internet without consciously looking for something particular was just going down a rabbit hole.

Keeping that in mind,I tried to find some sort of tool to handle the huge influx of information that I was seeing to atleast try and sort out the mess.This was all going on in my mind so it probably didn't take long but by the time I came to that conclusion I had reached the peak of my jump and me being the idiot that I was I looked straight down and screamed such that it would put little girls to shame.

I had reached such a height that I could see the curvature of the planet and only clouds with no ground in sight.As gravity,like the heartless bitch that she is,began to act on me,I began to fall swiftly.While I had tested my durability against a fall from tall tree heights I don't think falling from this height will be without repercussions on my body,superhuman or otherwise.This high up there was nothing I could grab onto and by the time I reached the trees to grab them I would probably be so fast that I would take down a few trees down with me.

So I screamed and screamed.I closed my eyes tightly and prayed to anybody would listen.I suddenly felt a lot lighter.Like all the pressure was lifted.So this is how Instant death feels like.I open my eyes and saw clouds but not clouds passing me by but me being stationary and the clouds flowing around me.

Sighing with relief that I was not gonna end up as pink paste on the ground,I started taking stock of my situation and what I found filled me with exhilaration.I was actually floating in air without any external aid.One of humanities greatest desires,un-aided flight and here I was,doing it with barely a thought.

Not in any fatal danger for now,I concentrate on exploring my coolest power(in my opinion) and find myself feeling incredibly stupid as all I was doing was glaring in a certain direction without any success.Seeing that comic book logic wouldn't work here I decided to do something that would astound anybody who knew me back in my old life,I bean to meditate right in the middle of clouds suspended in the air with nothing but my own power.It must have been surreal to look at.

Now in my previous life I had zero disposition for meditation or being calm in generally actually.Maybe something changed because I have been much more calm than normal now.Something ROB did then maybe.Dismissing those thoughts I began the arduous process of trying to enter the graveyard mindscape because I had a hunch that was the right way to begin.After a long long time I open my eyes and find myself floating in the same position but in the center of the graveyard right in front of my mother's grave.

Huh.I suppose some metaphorical key to my power must involve my unsolved issues with my mother though its not like she was here to argue with me.It makes sense,to move on into my new life I must leave my old life behind.I have already done that with my body(thanks ROB) but my mind must also do the same it seems.

So after some totally manly tear shedding talking about all the things that I kept to myself and never told her,I felt a bit lighter.Not a lot but somewhat lighter.

Instinctively,I close my eyes and open them to see myself back into the material world.I feel something surrounding me.As I examine myself I find that it is a transparent field of energy.This is probably what is keeping me from going splat on the ground.It would also explain all the other abilities that I have demonstrated.

I could feel it now.The field,I can bend it to my will somewhat.It still takes concentration but I think I can fly in a straight line.So I try to do the same and what do you know? I did it.I flew straight ahead very very slowly.I felt so so stupid doing that. I tried doing that again but with the thought of going as fast as possible in my mind.

Slowly,oh so slowly I was able to fly at the speeds that I would deem acceptable for my first try.After that accomplishment,all I could do was grin like an idiot and fly like a drunkard.Doing rolls,flips and any and all stunts that I could think of.It was fun.
