Prompt: You have discovered what appears to be an ordinary room. But as soon as you enter the room, time stops for you. When you leave the room, time resumes, picking up right where you left off. What do you use this room for?
Story:
If I ever knew of such a room, I'd make that room as comfortable as possible, put a lock on it and never tell anyone its secret powers.
It'll be my safe haven, my desires, my hopes, my escape.
I want that room to be a place I can feel relaxed, safe and not worry about the world.
I'd put the most comfortable bed in that room, bunch of snacks, a love sack, a desk with a chair and exercise equipment.
I'd use that room for sleeping, so I'd be awake 24/7 in the real world, I'd use the frozen time as well to get in shape so that I'd be wasting no time in the real world as well.
I'd use that room to escape stress, especially if I want the world to pause for a moment – literally.
I'd use that room to write as well and of course, eat.
Though I see some flaws in this room, which I'm totally okay with. Since time would be frozen, there would be no water flowing into the room, no electricity, and no internet. But I hope air is not frozen.
I can make up time by going in that room. Perhaps make projects or bring a lover inside and we can do whatever makes us happy.
I see that room as a paradise of harmless fun. I also hope we don't age while we're in there, if not, then I'd never set a foot in that room. Ever.
At least, that's what I'd do.
