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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD9WpxDcbD

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUBJG7WWU
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24PrWGdqbL
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1JgswmZ45
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz9tTin9LU
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGCm0bGdQR
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3bK97Yr6b
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg9lr2MRsD

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbl1ucw6YL
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqxZs9ZwU
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT1kADB38c

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSge114zYa
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKs7s3AN3
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOYjtMDene

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCH6jo7yQ1
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EemY3i5qH
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpnzJhwkz0
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWqC4plP1m

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNEpyNUGt
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE7lWGTWLM
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ7OnUodVO

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jpo0numH4
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPlnJreUxn
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7rPBV9shn
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HuSYRpZA8
“I...Can’t let...It win.” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgExoWjVlX7
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFSPFRlmiu
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.677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSTuNLm6uC
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN9TPLFANR
“No...That’s not right…”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFub9jCHNB
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvz4BUYvY
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5iwdnUUW9

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kmtz39Kp
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1DXe3rJbn
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXyZNXjxB4
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG3WzDm6SP
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20PjTyBvpV
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyHrp4VeJf
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVxjJtxmZX
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZ379IJNl
"It's...No use…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CZ7J3yp1
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDB0KHTOyi
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mlaKTXvSS
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas27p8hUU2
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwV1vt1xA8
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p6XbyqJV8
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHEhyR0MN
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgQsHAAMJA
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. 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZAVGVcM00
