She held the pose stiffly. It was not as if you was intending to do so, it just happened. Occasionally she found herself staring out into space, with a dumbfounded look on her face. Some thought that she was thinking intensively, or had started daydreaming, but unfortunately, it was more severe than that. For some reason, which was uncontrollable by her, if she was sitting, and doing nothing, instead of daydreaming, or falling into a slight slumber like normal people, her body would just rigidly lock up. The first couple times it happened it was very frightening. That was 4 years ago, when she was still in High School, but now she was just finishing her freshman year in college, and she had become used to it. The worst problem with it, was that she could not break herself out of the "trance." It required someone physically touching her, or calling her name. If that did not happen, she imagined that she would stay that way indefinitely. She figured that the chances of happening were slim, as she was still awakened by her alarm clock, and other loud noises. In fact, as far as she could remember, she had only ever been "stuck" for more than a couple hours at a time. This problem was most unusual for her as well, because while she was in the trance, she was completely aware and awake, and sometimes she suspected that her senses were even amplified. She could not remember a time when she had frozen with her eyes closed, which allowed her to see everything that happens while she is frozen. This is a good asset for her in school, where the symptoms appear the most. She would be sitting in class, watching her professor, and would become still with her eyes on him, keenly listening, so she still could pay attention, and pick up the material. Needless to say, that this made her more intelligent than some of her peers, as she never missed anything. Well, that wasn't completely true, although she liked to think it was. If she was immobile for more than 20 minutes, she would begin to drift, and think about other things. This did not allow her to think about interesting developments in science or anything like that, no, she would begin to have sexual thoughts. Sometimes, they would be kinky, like thinking that she was being kissed or petted while "stuck," and not having it release her. She wasn't sure if she would enjoy such a thing, or not, but she tended to think about it often. One of the other fantasies she had while stilled by her problem, was that she was mistaken for a store mannequin, and taken away as one. Usually it involved her ending up in a store front somewhere for an extended period of time, before being found out and released. Her fantasies always ended with her returning to her normal self in the end, as she did not particularly enjoy the idea of being frozen forever. Recently, in fact, she had been thinking about having someone put her in a room by herself, let her get frozen, and then leaving her there, alone, for an extended period, such as a couple of days, weeks or even a month. Oddly, every time she had that particular thought, she would shudder, and end up releasing herself, which made her think, that if she did find someone to do that to her, that she would "break" herself out of it too easily.

This time she was "stuck" in her Calculus lecture. Almost no one was in the room, as it was getting near the end of the semester, and less people had been coming. She didn't really mind, she just sat there staring ahead to where the professor had been standing 15 minutes ago. She hadn't hit her "20 minute limit" yet, so she was still listening to the professor. She knew that the class would be ending soon, and she began to wonder if, with so few people in the room, if she would be startled back to life or not. Usually the people leaving, broke her out of it, especially when they were sitting in the same row as her, but today, there were no such people. She figured she would end up staying into the next hour. It was OK, as she knew there was no class in the room at that time, and luckily, she had a class in this same room, after that, so she would probably stay there until then, and then hopefully, some one would get her out of it. Until then, she would just have to wait.

The End
