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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZXycWHXL9

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHkK4HbbSz
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHqMgZ2RDX
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvvLx6NUzu
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSMTwoFR30
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBLKU78cKN
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lSgbpCw78
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QmDcMGiI

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsOUthSj3O
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeouFQwvWcY
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DUjypZrSq

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcy5R0fH6b
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYYdcFOyXd
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nEU5N3Npi

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodSYLLcIMa

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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdEolA1AE

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Y01aHYTX
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8L2pHrf0P
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp06NgKloUb

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ45AMugzI7
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9E2T6JJew
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6PND0svML

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlYFlB45jd
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kFRfdr4Qq
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.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglV0zcEjtu
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpnZtYGTpE
“No...That’s not right…”652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuen7FgpYYP
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWzXRXNiKx
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKjSdZs8p3

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo7O06X0cA
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCMFYcIMjs
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbgiCbanER
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf48MI7MXb
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79UcOIZUNK
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPS7RdipK
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYtcAvRkKD
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39sM5c7l4V
"It's...No use…" 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIgeCzHnjN
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAmPVD5hbJ
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX68GKXq4do
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNwyFQne7O
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz9iZuQsNK
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oOHn1ARw
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYYGqQVJED
652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiI29XPJM8
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. 652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr52eLiQi50
