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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDM3G4CY0M

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFys3PYNz
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7SRNlkGPT
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGHSYI8a1O
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxIIoARYU
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz92MfD0SM
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCBvdZRAzW
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN862FCOfOd

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGgKKgPVJ
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrRjGyIfl1
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhF3unv5n8

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kZkZCQB0b
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqjgTSMScW
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbRMdyvWS

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW2Zzf7jli

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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh1ir0ognz

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5NGNmgFzz
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnLTespK6T
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxcvfhXuuP

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe39bJSz9n
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaXIl8YiL
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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrR3426mX4

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69Y2sxwFW

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.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8N5KW37yd
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeHI0mmjaq
“No...That’s not right…”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSt92Gh5wQ
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHt0wwBIN
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhfbhMukBz

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZZ1GfbJrp
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcBwGL5dC9
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUndmAq5Lxd
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV0y9pxdLt
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CmoQCfD0c
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoSG8czEo2
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGV3e0Wzpg
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZbwehCXWq
"It's...No use…" 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp2MoDozi2
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhfBmq5zwc
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGLrN12aia
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73imWOMW50
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLi5Nf6mi8
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFWbe9NqN
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VQpx4PVgx
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2U7vFUcfH
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. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1elrvidcI
