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.
