My Tallest

A fan novel inspired by the Invader Zim universe.

The Irken Empire is gone.

Its cities have fallen. Its fleets have been reduced to drifting wreckage. Billions are dead.

And Zim-the loud, arrogant Invader once obsessed with conquering Earth-is the only Irken left alive.

After escaping the destruction of his home world under the Tallest's final command, Zim crash-lands back on Earth carrying more than a damaged PAK and a broken ship. He carries the memories of an entire civilization, the weight of unimaginable survivor's guilt, and the impossible burden of being the last living witness to everything Irk once was.

Dib Membrane expected his greatest enemy to return one day.

He never expected to find a grieving survivor instead.

As Dib struggles to help someone he once swore to expose, the two former enemies are forced to rebuild trust one quiet conversation at a time. Together with Professor Membrane and Gaz, they begin navigating the difficult path through trauma, memory, and healing, while Zim slowly learns that surviving and living are not always the same thing.

Filled with grief, dark humor, cultural discovery, and quiet moments of hope, My Tallest explores what it means to lose an entire people-and whether one broken survivor can still find a place to belong.
