There's no denying it. I'm weird. But not like a "booger-eating, sci-fi obsessive freak" kinda weird. I don't know how I even inherited my "wonderful" gift. Needless to say, I really don't care. There's only one thing I'm dying to know: Am I the only one? It sounds so unrealistically awesome- being able to freeze time and do whatever the heck I want. There's a slight problem, though.

And for now, that means that I can't really interact with anyone when they're frozen. It's like they suddenly become inanimate objects, lifeless.
