Liv sat in her dimly lit room, eyes glued to the erotic manga splayed open on her lap. The lewd illustrations depicted a scenario all too familiar - a shy girl, much like herself, gaining the power to stop time and indulge her deepest, darkest desires. A power to take what she wanted, who she wanted, without consequence or resistance.

As Liv turned the glossy page, the artwork seemed to shimmer and dance before her eyes. The colors intensified, bleeding into the real world until her small room was bathed in an ethereal, pulsating glow. Startled, Liv blinked rapidly, rubbing her eyes. When she opened them again, she gasped.

Everything had frozen. The second hand of her wall clock hung motionless, the digital numbers flickering slightly. Outside her window, a bird mid-flight hovered in the air, its wings outstretched but unmoving. Liv pressed a tentative hand against the glass; it felt cool and still.

A thrill ran through her as realization dawned. Somehow, impossibly, she held the power from the manga in her grasp. Time had stopped for everyone... except her. Heart pounding, Liv thought of him - her roommate, the object of her secret obsession. This was her chance.

Mind racing with forbidden thoughts and pent-up longings, Liv crept out of her room, the silence of the motionless world amplifying her shallow breaths. She knew exactly where to find him. With each step, her resolve hardened, and a dark excitement unfurled within her chest. Today, she would make him hers, consequences be damned.

Liv paused outside his door. She thought of the countless nights spent watching him from the shadows, yearning, wanting... It was time to stop hiding and start taking. With a deep breath, she turned the knob and stepped inside, ready to claim what she desired most.
