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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpffVCpiNq

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdsvGcFcdM
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MwY2xbOl5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8aMnaCjag

“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUA28pkeDc
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmjm5utUmz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpxalcx4r5

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6C34syAj5
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5u6N4pdft
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBOz6xT8l2

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk09Apu1x7A
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gfNyY0fqw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL3lQupEh7

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcunfotLfW

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JiEEp0Mhl

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOd0dy6RmC
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jJHbKhOdt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHKFxoz6a

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1TuNvOHxy
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRpInzW0a
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRdVKIDJN6

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dok04wbe5
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRGJaXhhNP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVdCwXgb3l
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxG7xavp1
“No...That’s not right…”677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUVEbeWnVf
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zbj2OBpRd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLlWFXxuTe

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VUBS7s94c
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl6c1S8Ai1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wt0PvPROb
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56VEztFmhv
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmF9rf03NT
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtcZFWebfU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjIDUJR7J8
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjYAXQ5YGQ
"It's...No use…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNg2DW7xQK
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfLPuRJGJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hlcCifRT

"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrV7ismxwS
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJNB6s99M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxxUbN2TXz
677Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxXuwlTg1e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8UN19b17t
