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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEL1iBGlz6

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0wvruG1ll
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1MIyr38n
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth48aZKr7P
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnChgifg8q
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrFPxJGOf
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsrgtou0LL
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BiTXwDfGF

“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8JsZ4B7TX
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR8bSSJCjR
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcSZFXPtQ

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsdVqlMymA
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp1dk7v3EL
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyuBKuB36K

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR88nvk3TYi

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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIza2PyCNdz

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzef3n0If
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqyQIgkSvi
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUuDiwlE0e

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR49zQALUNc
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbD0HoVkt
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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjQEcFezh

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbnT21GapK

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.831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAMQQtWVS
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8aQ4xv71q
“No...That’s not right…”831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOy8Qmvqwi
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNsmhkXwVu
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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnbKiy19zj

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh2kFr66sD
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNOTx9W3Qa
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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhjf1gBccS
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR6wW4eEgV
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6CszLVGLY
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckx0XxsV1F
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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ogBs61HQ
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfA13gxHWB
"It's...No use…" 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMxm2slQFy
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ23WYk8MQh
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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf24Bk1jfw2

"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBElrgEtLLU

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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE67CfCv68H
831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAqiOzglY
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. 831Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVI5Hc25K2
