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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1n2g4icQ
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9W8AYznNr
“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNDpTqQ1fW
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLoyLpAqwc
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjvnP3RXTT
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pq6JIBEs4
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDroLQRjvq
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yOxnFxkwa
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoauA4lXKAr
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6EvKj4sqW
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPCGdSVPV8
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MIJ02hlr
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiLM2NRgU1
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzemZJMWfXO
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBvb3WYldx
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hej9BCBlT
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHsnJpP0Nd

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiVkiWeQzz

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oYmSz0MtG

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudiNPidEW4
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroJGeVeMvo
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aBhyztEwV

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkr68LXl1v
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVHYSHDKq
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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9PQBxBFL

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqp0GV73Vo

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.676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwSqTwicel
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpkigeBnm6
“No...That’s not right…”676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdDwKDnsn
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7nKJlYU6
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmCqXh3Upe

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cxPMNXljT
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBxAjAbN9
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakv2pPvcf8
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKokMk4mEGk
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNYrpCMsFs
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodH7hIK0ae
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN9G52cJDM
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgd5iKihZa
"It's...No use…" 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6MpuhACUV
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1sKihJO47
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFethluJW
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aUAX1H5xU
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGndSFSRxRZ
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm8LvuStcL
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnIe49BJR
676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh8m3evQDw
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. 676Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnRmsN5TeU
