Dib had gone cold and hour, 18 minutes, 32 seconds and .437 milliseconds ago. But, Zim was still trying to revive him.
He had been calm at first, the human couldn't t be dead. He had never died before. Surely, a simple blow to the head wouldn't t kill him. It had progressed from poking to oxygen machines and electrical shocks. Trying desperately to jump start the fragile heart. Now Zim ignored the tears that rolled down his face in favor of begging.
"No! Wake-up! Wake-up, you idiot human! Stop being dead! Zim commands you! The Tallest order it! Don t die! Don t leave me! Not now! I NEED you!"
But, Dib s heart never beat again. Zim could never take back his mistake and the only thing he had now was a lie. For hours, days the alien worked. Trying to find a solutions, to bring the dead back to life. When none came he held his humans cold body to his jade chest and sobbed into the limp black hair.
