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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLykKVqtkwx

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2spQBVgXii
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYbFL9YWE
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRDbKVXQB3
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f4HURNuw1
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ex0f6Pgr
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq0nsHKYJm
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOXDEqb4HP
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFF6Rsjfys
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2pBs4tRym
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYaKZ4BNA
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxhmqWaY9R

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONVdMvfIlb
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUizrPpsErd
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm19cy7ce2M

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5GgJkJaKD

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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrwIOpBX5

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyQVm4YH7z
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaAwc6DqU6
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKJDEI7ClU

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mGxoBGKOq
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1eSMAvZL1
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmxJ5oT3qT

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSs1qanh6z
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLXVX4qud5
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4FjtAsMAs
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2TW6Mz09
“No...That’s not right…”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfG8s4lRWz
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUMscnf7Yf
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMleqotK29K

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk9WMfndbZ
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFkFoTOwh6
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sjYmMM83W
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewbBqFnRB
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjf1e4JiGP
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4lM1VLtN0
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOemNbqiMw
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdEtCPRjpS
"It's...No use…" 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTECXqASLm
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07LvbptbBN
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpedv9CUEc
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dYPrEFIZY
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08byL9ChXF
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJaOX4kzQW
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1oJcIcPU5
654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwKjQM6ama
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. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6MfDwEOIQ
