All Lying


A vacant stare.

A revelation.

Swirl...

Crimson eyes widen.

"Y... YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE ALL LIARS! SHE DIDN'T DIE; SHE DI-...DIDN'T DIE! YOU TOOK IT! YOU TOOK HER!!! YOU'RE.." Zim screamed, flailing about desperately, and once again, they had to restrain him. The woman that had spoken to Zim about the disquieting news quietly slipped away from the hysteria, a masked smile ready to quirk her features at any moment. "...ALL LYIIIING!!!" Choking, gasping sobs... screams of frantic disbelief.

Creeping, creeping, creeping.

She instead kept her grin to herself, having sedated the one-week old Mariko, having convinced everyone of her death.

Mendacious and false-hearted concern laced her words.

"We did all we could..."

She was the 'coroner'.

But the only dead body she wanted to tinker around with...

was Zim's.

'And maybe that fucker Contell.' She added amusingly in her mind.

"GET THE HELL AWAY, ZIM KNEW YOU WOULD TAKE HER!!!"

Echoes of ominous mirth.

Strolls away without a trace.

Swirl.
