It's okay. I'm saving the world. Zim's alien evil won't corrupt the Earth for as long as I'm around.
Dib paced around his room, scratching his wrists. He glanced at his corkboard, images all over it, red string connecting them, the subject of the images all Zim. It had been years of this, fighting over and over again, his classmates telling him that he was crazy, their looks judgemental and mean. They didn't understand. He was saving them all, doing them a favor! They would all thank him one day, and he'd finally prove to his father that he was right all along.
It's okay. I'm saving the world. Zim's alien evil won't corrupt the Earth for as long as I'm around.
Dib continued to pace around, his wrists growing raw with the incessant stratching. What was Zim planning now? How to take out his and his classmates' organs and make them into snacks? What if he already had some random citizen and was experimenting on them? Was he plotting to kill him and his family? Whatever. He'd stop him anyway.

Gaz opened the door to Dib's room unexpectedly, telling him that it was time for dinner and dad was home and wanted to see him. Dib tugged down his sleeve and nodded. Dinner. His father was home, a rare occasion, he was usually just being projected on a floating screen. Dib sighed, heading to the kitchen, muttering under his breath.

Over and over, his mantra. Something to keep the thoughts and worries away for just a while. Moments of peace.
