This chapter: Luminous. Enjoy!
His eyes became glassy and far away, as he stared at It.
"What do you want from me." Dib whispered gloomily.
(I do love you, you know?)
It smirked, "Time. That's all. Your time, and when we're done, you can leave." It said, reassuringly with a calmly collected bullshit that seemed to warp his thoughts, he could feel a creeping sense of horrid dread and an excruciating sadness twist around him internally. Dib could only nod, albeit weakly, in response.
(Yes, yes, yes...) "We shall continue then," It took the papers from its rest. A soft snapping noise resounded through the walls and suddenly the whole room illuminated, and Dib, in shock, winced and gasped sharply at the brightness. Luminous. But the strength of this luminosity seemed to cover him from all angles. Hitting him harder th-... than... (Stop!! Oh GOD PLEASE STOP!!!) than a thousand blows of white hot stones, marred and jagged. (Hold me... don't. let. go.) Dib's golden eyes finally adjusted to the blinding insanity and took in a deep sigh to try to relax. (In vain as always...)
"It is Our duty to show you memories, horrible, disturbing things. You may or may not remember them, but nonetheless, you must see the good with the bad. We know you are exhausted, and completely dumbfounded by this whole ordeal. We know... We know..." (lies, lies, lies...)
Dib didn't speak, he just stood there. Almost trancelike.
"You are currently in the Realm of Light and Darkness. Your Soul is with The Balance. Don't delude yourself and think its all a dream"
...an illusion, illusion...
Dib listened blindly, his eyes dulled by the light and the pure miserable fact that he might never see (Splash. Splattered. Screams. No one will know, no one will ever know, no one but us.) Zim again.
Words soon became unintelligible prattle, and soon he was transported back to a familiar scene, a comforting one.
...
"Get the hell away from me Dib-stink!!" Zim shouted the usual banter, growling angrily at his 'friend'. Dib simply smirked and lazed about Zim's laboratory as though he lived there. Zim, at the time, was working on some highly unstable chemicals and needed his concentration. "Damn worm-babies always get in my way..." he muttered frustrated in his futile attempts of meditation. "I think I'm leaving soon. I mean, come on Zim, you really think I'm going to stay here waiting for your sorry ass." He teased lightly, "I'm nineteen for Christ's Sakes," and He chuckled mirthfully, tinkering with some Lab equipment, waiting for the inevitable response. A few minutes passed of silence, except for the clinking of beakers and glasses, and a noise slightly resembling a tea kettle about to fly off its handle, hot steam, and instead of boiling water, it was Zim inside about ready to explode.
... "WHAT?!"
Dib smiled. Always the same. Always different, Always the same.
Soon, Dib was jutted out of his reverie of something actually pleasant or something similar to pleasant, and thrown back into the ... 'Does it seem smaller or am I just seeing things? Like walls are closing in on my soul.' Realm or whatever it's called. Light and Darkness.
"and you can leave... Time is all We need... you can leave..."
..But to where?
(Always the same, Always different.)
Everything was finally.. Luminous.
