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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfKDOO9n4D

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUHnidIRFf
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqjXzLeJrV
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgYeGCUb4K
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1mZUokfej
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZba97oxGY
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5taEQAC4vp
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dyOgrQ0vQ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxalAR5RK
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZyWmfLZ4g
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx3wzX7dk3
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwetYbRZnQ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxprzxlc0YM
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm8ufwMMbo
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujYPDIjJ4
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldWwrSnIPL

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRFq5CSZxQ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmvtBPGPKZ
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKmLq59Jp
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYL5HB9feA

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm35q07O6l
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wue4zYzXM
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7kiIxse4

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWR8TM1At8
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNAEz5j9n1
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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk396GDqU8s

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnml97PVu2

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.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj8kS1fED0
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84FDiaa1P
“No...That’s not right…”707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4RjVUy4Yc
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6XCBAsT0t
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2NYFqFi82

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhzCmtvAvh
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoOf3GAC0z
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD40C1gxqn2
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelexotJT8V
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDtR2J2yLT
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36AG1zJsc5
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK05LOpWnvM
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbIm3sJShQ
"It's...No use…" 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGrAaVbu7m
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFk26Y4Hbx
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDaYNl3fjy
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyPsHqvG9r
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkHnDgzotq
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHj9VhyOLO
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCneHMA2YD
707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg29C3Oy6Jm
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. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY747Qw4GDM
