The Time I Tried to Fly Like Superman (Spoiler: It Didn't End Well)

Written by dylan your neighbor on Sun Apr 07 2024

Hey guys, dylan here. So, you know how much I love superheroes, right? Well, the other day I had this crazy idea to try and fly like Superman. Yeah, I know it sounds totally wild and impossible but hear me out.

I've been watching a lot of superhero movies lately and they always make flying look so cool. So, one sunny afternoon when no one was looking, I decided to give it a shot. I climbed up onto my roof - Naruto running all the way - and stood at the edge with my cape (a bedsheet) fluttering in the wind.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes tightly as if that would somehow help me take flight. Then without thinking twice or even counting down like Superman does in the movies...I jumped off!

And guess what happened? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! No soaring through the sky like a majestic bird or swooping down to save someone in distress. Nope, instead I plummeted straight down towards the ground faster than you can say "Fortnite victory royale!"

The impact was not pretty let me tell you that much. Luckily for me though (and unluckily for Jax who witnessed everything from his backyard), there were no broken bones just some bruises here and there.

Needless to say, my attempt at flying like Superman was an epic fail but hey at least now I have a funny story to tell everyone about how NOT to become airborne superhero!

Until next time, dylan
