Based in a true environment, on a real person, but the situation is from my head.

Penny worked in a corporate office. It was a pleasant place to work, although recent company shake ups made her worry about her job security. She was one of many people who worked on the large database systems that helped make the company run. Because of this she often had to print large reports. Today was one of those days.

The printer that she commonly used was shared by those working around her. She always took it upon herself to ask each of the people in her area if they would need to use the printer, before she started the large print jobs. Now was one of those times. Penny made the rounds to each of her co workers desks to ask them about the printer, and show off her great body.

She was a fabulous looking woman. She had a petite body, and very shapely legs. The kind that 'leg men' dreamed about, and she was constantly reminded of that by the comments she received, and the looks she garnered.

After checking to make sure there was no need for the printer, she went to her desk and started the hundred page print job, and proceeded to the printer to keep an eye on it. As she was walking near it, she thought she had seen someone moving toward her out of the corner of her eye, but she ignored it. As she reached the printer, she reached her hand up to hit the status button, and show a different display on the printer. Just when her finger was about an inch from hitting the button, she felt her entire body stiffen up. She was completely shocked by it. She was staring at her hand, and the control panel, but it was about an inch away, and she couldn't move a muscle. She watched as the printer began it's job and the first page slowly made it's way out.

"What the hell is wrong with my body" she tried to say, but her body defied her. Every attempt to move, and get away from the printer failed. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't even bat an eye. She was beginning to feel like a statue, stuck in place by crazy glue, or cement! She was forced to watch as the second and third, and forth pages made there way out of the printer.

Finally, some relief became apparent. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see someone coming toward her. Please help me, she tried to beg, but nothing was apparent. The person got closer, and finally was in her view. It was her coworker Jack. Oh, thank god she thought, expecting he would help her out of her situation.

"Hi Penny. I hope you like the view of the printer, you're going to be there for a while." He told her. What!? She tried to say, but her lips remained still. "We all decided we really hate waiting for you to get done with the printer, so we decided to make you realize how much. We set up this field to freeze you while your print job gets done. Don't worry, you'll be free to move again once it's finished."

Until it's done! Penny thought to herself. It was like an hour worth of printing, she dreaded as the 8th page sneaked out of the printer. "What's going to happen when the paper needs to be reloaded?" she wondered to herself. "Will I have to wait here until someone notices, changes it, and then the job continues". She suddenly realized she was probably looking at more then an hour of standing here looking at the printer.

Penny suddenly became aware of herself and her body without reason. She was standing in a mid action pose. It was obvious she was stepping forward when frozen. He feet were both firmly planted on the ground, in her three inch office heels she commonly wore. The coordinated well with her navy blue skirt and jacket, and the matching pantyhose that graced her motionless legs.

She looked at the display on the printer that was in her view. It showed the current status, 'Printing page 12' it taunted her. Damn, she thought. This is going to take a while.

It didn't take long before people started realizing her predicament, although she suspected most of them were in on it. She was forced to stay and wait as men, and women, from the office came up to her, and talked to her frozen form, and even took the risk of touching her. Before it was over she suspected that every part of her legs and body would be touched.

But for now, she was forced to just sit and watch as page 16 creaked it's way out of the device, and wonder how long it would be until it stopped.

The End
