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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYJjtV3BHk
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfiYzvFVc
“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuebAq0zP0B
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j41hFa5PG
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60cFl7uMO8
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxjYVlbJtG
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEptvymZOTf
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7aCgd1KBu
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedaJ31680b
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXxVhFJLP
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLireUGQ5bT
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIrLwOPfpb
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqEJH4B6b7

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwrIp2KQZF
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI5J47HMcb
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF9pRm9pTh

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigbsGutWr9

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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0xSlpP2Jq

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemb23U2ZBQ
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDazBSwv91f
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiKSngkDVk

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALaHklVY8
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCfx7Ya7Gi
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcVO7SMhjE
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThED9ofBkX
“I...Can’t let...It win.” 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKKt9YJ4S6
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODYc2OTNYj
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.701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9bgGqFBf9
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83WP7AbfsW
“No...That’s not right…”701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCLiSE1Rjh
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FUrIrPm0A
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4fLjhBcP

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Ht2MRHFp
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0luPu4Y6m7
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTPI48NJXh
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj8jFXjRan
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzkBKVKxEK
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzMf7jQO8G
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZyfPZYAp1
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoxRc6fSzK
"It's...No use…" 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O0RJw6BOo
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpEdXz5HE
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5CLJuRr6
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YBIZMN57
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGzbSjnwb
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WvSA4JUAG
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjbZ0ovrjZ
701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6bdtBGWTl
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. 701Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso9AhVii7w
