Drowning

by Sango Tsubasa

It was a game of cat and mouse. A chase. Zim enjoyed the challenge. But one day, it all stopped, and Zim found himself wanting, no, NEEDING Dib in his life. And when Dib decided to end it all... well, Zim would NOT have that. For a contest on dA. ZADR

1. 1: Zim's POV

Drowning

Zim's POV

Life.

I've spent too much of it on this planet.

Time and time again, I created a genius plan, a plan that would surely bring the end of the filthy humans inhabiting on this worthless, filthy planet.

Only to be foiled by that…

That…

HUMAN.

Dib…

After each failed plan, I tried to approach the problem in a new and creative way, but no matter how hard I tried, how much TIME I put into it, that filthy Dib-worm always managed to thwart my plans!

I smiled to myself at that thought.

It was a game; one big game of cat and mouse.

Zim and Dib.

And one day, I'd get him.

I'd get that mouse.

I enjoyed the chase.

I enjoyed the Dib's challenge.

But one day, the challenge stopped.

When the Dib-thing entered class, I immediately sensed a change in him.

There was something… missing. Something in his eyes, the way he walked, the way he talked.

I knew the chase had stopped.
