He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1xySsgMq
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYslDzAO6V
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzNAZm5oYE
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNwaPPnqf
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoV4oaTYxc
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ08e9AIqT
his curiosity stronger.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxEToteSO
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRGpRpvBUX
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD5lEMvteT
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdjzfXIx2
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNe1xBYhgc
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhlFdAZVw9
it came.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bQuLPMJ5C
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjHo4ng3b
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWv4TWF50
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSX8za4cYJ
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2xMsX9eRX
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcopXebEyrG
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINGX5JinJ
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk41xUPejI
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmX7lTqnM8
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFlpHuHTPx
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo83s1YQrbx
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRxt6d2zL
married.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOGIUQzg3J
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8SPlmhHqm
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4cVRmDyEa
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQNxZTVzat
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECxsb8H0aK
married her for her beauty.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkwqnb3H5d
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmECzv4bfMT
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6vGKbSdmo
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwU6lGqn1f
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVTkq8S6yc
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoibH8dZJZ
‘None of the others lasted very long.’ She continued inching closer.
‘You could not live with a thin piece of cloth could you? Look what you’ve done to me.’567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLDbrzH9xR
Her voice grew louder and angrier.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosiOttEEl2
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mfiydwpgE
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHazAmca3H
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzkWiFZF1l
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07EZXLQh3F
in the sun.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERVQWQ671y
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtPw49Ko4Q
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehqhA0Ugv
eyes used to be.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnIxHxdgV1
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqUZDYMxRC
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYQ0bk4pG5
‘I told him he would be sorry’
