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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhs7dsNCnt

“I have to keep moving. If I stop moving, I'll surely die.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9QQnEl5Rw
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPpswPj77L
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgBEZW63et
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDNyXbUXQY
“Every minute of every day, I can’t stop moving. Not even for a second.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiSQ79VGqM
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMWn3c5wRF
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF1IhwzYOi
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRU3yGRVne
“Don’t think about it, don’t stop moving.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldtZ8ZFBzL
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOWqs45GG0
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZpZg6MqA

“Don’t look at yourself, just keep going.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMzPE9cTI5
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnzGYk5Jbe
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkDCbPNo7r

“Just keep moving, you know what will happen if you stop.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ81w9Ze3o

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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmM0XsSNnw

“You are weak, but moving will keep you strong.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML3WiFNZHr
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9TxZ4GwIR
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPMv1tgtdC

“No, I can't let my mind win over my body.”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKaR63wKAO
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3GiGy0lFw
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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnEhTqcsAK

“I...Can’t let...It win.” 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1JgvNeau

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.570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgl8k1NcSl
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxASNb4oYO
“No...That’s not right…”570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQv5DwUcu
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Q9Z3hS1a
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnrENTruF

"It's so weird...It feels so uncomfortable…" 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfJ7tNKplS
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1cWU5lDs
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC81TsPp7h8
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKTcTDZtvN
"I...I can't take this feeling anymore!" 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxTddRw5BT
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPIaK8StU
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJGuo9UGUP
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CtM6X7jVJ
"It's...No use…" 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xbe7bFJfN
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHCZ9cPmoz
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajKlmzAwYB
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDfU18qFU3
"The sound of silence…Is...Nice…" 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQoDKzKog9
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYYma2RWi3
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGgMXIlNJI
570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYEvBZfDlO
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. 570Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK7zZ8xQwn
