Probably everybody has the sleeping dream of flying, usually without wings, airplane or other standard materials. I know I once flew in a chair. If I raised my legs straight out in front of me I went up, bending down them sent me to the ground. I have flown in a car up and down incredible vertical runs.
Your prompt, if you choose to accept it, is write your character into a flying experience. Don’t worry about using conventional means to enable flight, just get them into the air somehow with at least some means of control, however rocky it might be.
