Allow me to introduce you to a girl named Melissa. She is a fifteen year old, lower class girl with very strange habits, thoughts, and actions that no one quite understands.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UW9Sh9Xc1

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAOVjnvknM
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasC0v2Z2ag
These were the words that ran through Melissa’s mind every day. Everyday, she would find something to do from the second she woke up, until the second she would go to sleep.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFsgRCbSec

“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zy6L4skpm
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww9G62ZV8B
Melissa always needed something to do. When she was desperate for something, she would go as far as starting fights at school to land herself detention for the next few days. Of course, her parents were unaware of why she was causing trouble, never telling them why.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rDNApNS21

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQF72I9z2c
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohN65Vo61q
Of course, you must be wondering why she thinks like this by now. Maybe she was abused at home, maybe she feared going home, and maybe she had a fear of not being noticed in the world. These were common reasons that her fellow classmates passed back and forth at school, unaware that every one of their explanations were wrong.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EIQQHvJVg

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZrC20MuI
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6xpGekL6R
Many people also asked questions about her appearance. About how she always came to school with knotted hair and wearing baggy, winter like clothes; never showing any skin with the exception of her face and hands. It was no secret that she was lower class, not being able to afford things that everyone else had, such as a cellphone.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB9omboeu2

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyg8yl8DHY

Only Melissa knew the answers to all the burning questions that were asked, but she didn’t care. She didn’t care that she was talked about, she didn’t care if people feared her, she didn’t care if she got in trouble, she needed to keep moving. She wanted to live.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3nymGikJA

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGQeP8im2k
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9uQG27aBa
She knew she wouldn’t be able to control her urges if she stopped moving, she knew that if she stopped for even a second to look at her reflection, she would surely die at her own hands. One night, her mind got the better of her, however. With her parents gone, she had no one to keep her occupied. All it took was sitting down for a mear three seconds for the urge to hit her hard.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKVyJ44kx

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHahq7wu3jy
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrvxzSfTp5
She got up to make herself something to eat. She thought she was safe, now having another activity to do. But, she was sadly mistaken. As soon as the knife was firm in her hand, the urge hit her hard like a truck.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWtz6fO0hY

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EREjSquMe

She thought to herself as she looked at the shiny blade, scared of what she might do. She looked down at the floor, trying to think of anything else. It was then she saw her legs. The longer she stared at them, the longer they began to change. She noticed how her calves were starting to seem bigger, how her thighs began to widen.674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJFKpu0tZ
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajhHRWXIxQ
“No...That’s not right…”674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRH2vK1Xx
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ypadg0dD
She couldn’t make herself pull away as her legs began to seem smaller or larger. No matter how many times she told herself that it wasn’t real, she couldn’t shake the image out of her head. Her legs even started to feel heavier in some places, but lighter in other places. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09co07HVo

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcnt8Hquze
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv8UJIBQZf
She took a shaky breath as her eyes began to water, fear and discomfort starting to set in. She was scared, scared of what her mind was doing to her. Scared of what she knew was going to happen. She knew she was going to die. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp3gCBsGg4
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Md3wcAc4O
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOmO7PPZww
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixgll4xkVN
Melissa found herself on the floor of her home, taking the knife to her calve. She didn't feel the pain that followed, her senses dulled by the growing discomfort of her legs seemingly growing and shrinking. She wasted no time before moving to her other leg, slicing into her other calve, the one that had appeared smaller. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqiiNDXAOf
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuJdbTdW9
"It's...No use…" 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9xOgvFTs2
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGU9r5rYH
She allowed the knife to fall from her hand, the pain finally setting in as she came back to reality. Melissa let out a painful shriek, laying on her back as blood slowly seeped out of her wounds. As a coldness came over her, she closed her eyes. For the first time in months, she was still. She heard the sounds of the house settling, the sounds of cars passing in the streets but best of all, she heard the quiet. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkAtBebMwU

"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZJkQrcFXR
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluEcj4caIc
She thought to herself before she slipped into unconsciousness. Unfortunately, she didn't stay awake long enough to see the neighbor run into the house and scream before calling 911. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRQFFi2ePo
674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsJzRL5Hth
This was just the start to Melissa's fight with her mind, however. What she didn't know was that she was in for many more battles with her own mind. But the next time it happened, she wouldn't be alone. 674Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsRetZwNTO
