He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3HQwoC4lF
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNrivivpf
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOXZGkcc2Y
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLeQ94Zofi
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJhbbdcz5j
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOYucPiUP8
his curiosity stronger.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KXlGEmQHf
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAsln4Tbzb
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDDSWwGpC
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYllbPe0xMy
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmODkC29Ek
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ18qgt7Q5O
it came.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ZFP3JqDk
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcEJ1T99BS
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vONJKPUz
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gGotJhgDi
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sK910FLns
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgflQQuy2f
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Erdl2M5d
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNVpqKzfxG
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKI0kOIoMm
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tyLBGenCy
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa0vmNXEed
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxTVOMY0C4
married.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp5qQxzzCK
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFtw8TW3Rm
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoI4WC8gi8
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDkxIXzcEL
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo3XsjAoBm
married her for her beauty.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WkYQMYBIq
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kkuKu4OuI
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMpZZ8mq7
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfjcI4izHB
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw0tON916I
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3q0DsBj7j
‘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.’563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKM1lHXrzu
Her voice grew louder and angrier.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuamXQSLX7M
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7dyebkMKZ
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTbf1ocQK
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEw6swf2CI
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPxb90zBC
in the sun.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhLW9LdBf
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKREKmIV4X
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K84lrZZDz
eyes used to be.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOsMgoEkQh
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D47ELC1kw
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72toiJ1rBU
‘I told him he would be sorry’
