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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra9llPNWSr

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn9O0L9CzS
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRXpOWY4Xj
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhckhL0hsEg
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbQCJgZKQ
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOs0dRyE6c
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wPEUUU6Ij
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXneDZ2LCUN

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWEHoFUrIN
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVufzL5ubj
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFG7krxto6

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlMjfzWAR
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMsDNz9DJL
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl5ql5I5bJ

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP9lFUnDDc

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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgyPxGqoSx

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbxb2iKscQ
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTDpIh8l4m
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyPUst9W1o

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9nJTEvEm8
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriyGbxdvmF
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkKwHqA7Y7

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIoTsYGILQ
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGaTJZS4qk
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAorQmeTZg
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pZK8gtL1a
“No...That’s not right…”671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VU7NcG1mo
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuo8b0kStr
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL66PxTA1q

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bJCFblTbB
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k0EKsR9eW
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFFbQ2kc9z
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuHnTzJfXu
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMQnydJBz
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ERtKqRd3
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdPwbrdPGg
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7mTbKqoz
"It's...No use…" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBNatQBnfU
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ldnoLLk3H
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBRmAndcny
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHDeABzxI0
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaxtaCVLjm
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwdAo8QMM1
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC6rAnOesd
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuJuOweAxq
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. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aOTWT5Gwu
