He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbcF18DGXh
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96SLFTpbK
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFMOJKVinJ
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvwoWtM2v3
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNtbBnXizA
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev6acozB4J
his curiosity stronger.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4sTv6fD8
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjOl8rhOnQ
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kV0LU2FJz
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO2kaKPRNU
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHPJmpAtvM
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIA6pXa69S
it came.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqkKqhlBPf
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFGqxvsoFr
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbe5O0j0kC
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9d7QQGovA
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaC8ehfYjA
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFsX2tMHqo
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJReOm54Xkk
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOIgX7wZ7
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT4Gk0MXcu
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NjuKgqfyl
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiE1Z20kzU
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSO3iq8oU
married.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs3CvDCjsB
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC6FD936l2
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXzmequZt9
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9oLCJsjnB
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiZ7xs2EDx
married her for her beauty.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbfgRMOfS0
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2tBF5Iday
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ0V7WTxTT
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumbRduPUse
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1mGMoioO0
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpDpi2GIwU
‘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.’643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqq2cK0NEh
Her voice grew louder and angrier.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8cp3sLfxI
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzJ5GyJ49k
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZoGAkwZki
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhonGjFUZX
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTdQnOBcK
in the sun.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxOGqMq3bi
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvdcPhSJq
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RuZFGFycO
eyes used to be.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiBuonPbK3
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNWyvv9jJq
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQV8PH1fwH
‘I told him he would be sorry’
