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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdKhc7VmBg

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCDR1DmfV8
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPIunznIn8
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9snGq92xUc
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1l8f6Am4l
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA2fnDgpRR
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP3pG4zCDo
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWQdss9BCo
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstKPILd8AX
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgUrToyOaj
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ubXxywFnl
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0TjgVeW6E
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTElraKaVRu
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAZWapkYSd
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6JTawMzsB
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRj9kH8Ti9

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5Auhm69n
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lABdAe51
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv3cuOjaXv
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa5C8yWLz2

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOu5s7m5l5
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTuLGEJVrl
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIpAGq7oy8

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMahFau7Yz
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LY2ciEFV6
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHpI96ePjQ
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBw5MoW3OK
“I...Can’t let...It win.” 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYVdJcfkhV
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpmE3pig7p
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.711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5LOb6Dw7I
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwWv50UuT
“No...That’s not right…”711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ghnyZ2SV
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NIUbKVXSu
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPTAuPJC1q

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2akODbOJE
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0rywgjJiu
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqmoCVCqE6
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuemjX2DIpO
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SRVxhZHsg
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eY7mVG09h
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFebT6nw1Oh
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Po0lkyF8V
"It's...No use…" 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKKDlbpd2
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstNQew7hFr
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPYET1tI9W
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFycTiOsky
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h1u7AO1nG
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRr1FgpZEr
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqqnwzctMx
711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfY72Raoqq
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. 711Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaw6h6wjPc
