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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ziZzsWlM
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAlOlaGsBj
“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXk2PDxPqy
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o50kCAdcr
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUI4piFGs
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGMjpfHK0W
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY00mxgejXo
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbwgW5vVF
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DvRvxiE77
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFqzpW42T1
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZTMGPA0gh
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FLDJ1zx1F
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44EXIZrwm

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOzxqPZYY

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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQdcjJUYaT

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzR6OlRXkL
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eU2o0SwEW
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeUv30ExFD
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fxM3zQdSI

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYeyN2qbpo
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyL4hsh5H3
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sHRfAsw4

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf64iBLTu3A
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L6FtYllz7
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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIne9xfQV9g

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjXqXsOA1C

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.615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zk7OnicNP
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaExR8C2RUY
“No...That’s not right…”615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAvR02E4qc
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHh5wxCAQg
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxWQHhnbLv

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthi7y4bHkw
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MjlKcWlZ
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0kMPXvES3
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJSENK612
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1mFCk8QlH
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkbDmjXiV
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavnjqeQncf
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj9LgH9iyd
"It's...No use…" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkNmC5GJLV
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sl2CVhfh3
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0Qj9Dzfq
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArpzcvOd5T
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPVF5XrRll
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo660ElOkp
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXonXArAds
615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uOJE6kid9
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. 615Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeb7dT2tBC
