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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmYdxCtIrA

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE2c16V4pi
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAL6LaCgP
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u5h3Y743P
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr767qyBuIe
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImgNlQ74eH
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7NQDlLeKK
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHyNHFK2e5
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6AdMQqVdl
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6FD7NBjp
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR6GAUjHhc
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fOgGj6jHq
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBzbr8vbdJ
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwYOxJZyO
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk722RguQbL
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnEiYtwRsI

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3LkmOyXqS

655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe6fbWAcBm
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFWIdt2yEP

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB2jE7OLFt
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Eh8NDapT
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XpEngwAR2

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5c3K6UJpQ
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPv6RIhHE
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxBX8tMESC

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSIDijmsKE
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI66zWWlYK3
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMbWJ0NcFb
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLPTQTrGdB
“No...That’s not right…”655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpBUGCTq6k
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ020jB1AcI0
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcCg3E5gym

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGEUPjr7IS
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrirBW6RzW
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVk8R4uIS9
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48XgNV3ckN
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ElDijRCAa
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZuolsSlUd
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBplQYWZ1a
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jrWWQKhQK
"It's...No use…" 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4oWbAxBS
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibJ7acJ5p9
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQs8iCt9Z
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eUmSks713
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZmFK1TB4S
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PZI7wBFa
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPNtXdA0tv
655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBQ5NvLla
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. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqXx7B51yp
