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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifeRmmu2il

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qaWIQCFJG
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39JmUTBZOL
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVclTQbln0
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Ng2hH0uC
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e5Gv6X7BK
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnM9BW9UjP
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHMQHqxPF
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2gekrAgqB
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7BJ9GU23
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi5jfbXLlR
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXtPsNeMLZ
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr6r1uBtTY
“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnvhPXsb2
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkEy8q34OK
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYRNhsRdEc

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal42WgzD3Y
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwvmcw4Kvj
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkLyHMDYL
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK9vRj5Usm

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVnjGNPm7O
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztDcvmb8hN
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhFcpGOsj

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVsMwJpHa
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs97s8WERO
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FBgjEusUo

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtrk1pIl8Q
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JS5F315yg
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.696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFZGgfkjPV
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCAmiKI1ce
“No...That’s not right…”696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMmeDbVRMi
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUgg0djE4l
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNLh4ov4Jb

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYotB5XIpXy
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWI3qfDtd
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfruZBoyD2
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiQ6CULom2
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HKElZyndM
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpmmIeTFbz
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YkQX9WbFS
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQHSfHCAC7
"It's...No use…" 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc3eomZgNb
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FiU3wveBo
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW193F35Z56
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTlDcMom2
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXBj1ygV7N
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqvVt33mAB
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlvrUfuoZn
696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelNoSjqgpO
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. 696Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30q1LARdN
