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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AWY2wpGSQ

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0x1B1yz3E
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxcrTQQVSk
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSGuWEaSH5
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUdq08HLKF
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwchoiNPKJK
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rR28H5V8
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMiNvIXWm

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG0hnzstQu
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0BUeOD0n7
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSP1jzHVT9
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceyj6KpMjz
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAkzD1TFOE
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldpgtFxMRr
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXesNq1rki3

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQu38dlY3R
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUW8ODmuDU
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcCKTCrBO
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4j1ryHah

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXx7VkuKZV
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfR7pZU9B
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVprgG9LD8

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4v8iKUPsJ
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEiX5BQVxO
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL0WacivbK
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXhRdPJlV
“I...Can’t let...It win.” 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjh62Z8mDQ
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkmyJGE0Tl
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.512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ypftcTUy
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEscp48fot
“No...That’s not right…”512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlqPWvsNVL
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEKanw4kT0
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm31XdLbpnU

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmvkrpRQSC
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IMc2tNj7F
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d3x1Kcohq
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4VZ6O2ti
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp4rXlpw0M
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8i9F3qcr
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rluM8rve
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtETvw3urJ
"It's...No use…" 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56ttjCl9a
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjWl9L0Vvf
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmbwP7q5Pl
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsSFxvHT7I
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInjTrrzvd3
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFIPeGcWfu
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NJNDxxsCQ
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkCapZSHs6
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. 512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU50ToOPy9w
