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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVElsBZVmn

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA44tHba3l1
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuyKNfmnPd
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8FlEARGRK
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2a16XnkV
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDyAJpIbRw
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoQDxP3MLM
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0pLyzYb9
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzP7REgugV
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvhoTyqxvI
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpO582Zpgy
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwB44aH3Rk

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUYnyvFx6s
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSseGSRpu1D
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo8R7AzXxd

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioul0pnzH

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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcsHGOKYJ0

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut7LVrDR0M
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvsJCFa4qv
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZjSwjNzIm

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu83ldy6RNy
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyyaAQ9ma8
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dWgHa4qIY

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8gIsAbkX
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyh7yJLM7H
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.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCHutY3ItU
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvTkOffgeV
“No...That’s not right…”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJK6cat1NT
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ05x26I6m
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHeQuHOfdH

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJouC0UUy2g
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmNMndX25y
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCoiZdff9i
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTKpD0sz9d
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsZEAm7k4
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nNlBbX9ni
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiaYIUUFhl
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVArww9ASmS
"It's...No use…" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrx22dSbXM
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0rhq4XEt
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r5KTvA9ax
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7FHxWRQ0x
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSf7TaBdea
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhDhCH5ZfQ
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNk43tAq9j
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex7lgoX4U6
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. 656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRYTKdWfbL
