He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1RmNZ42yt
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uaGrCZ51b
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhALAJERUMA
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTF08KsfSd
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10FmMjZ2G
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKhgezwsR9
his curiosity stronger.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadXW2GDD2w
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruYbKtOlRb
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh64Dv6lH0
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUHmQOAHpy
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3AzT1ZVG
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Ep5mbq1t
it came.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeafQRAFrne
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v9PcfNAbw
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSWkTfPVwB
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaO9yuYVuj
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgA9ComwjL
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86b3bZtLrU
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfeCzy4r3I
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAdCDwZ2IO
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbNDrrIDr
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QdFj2R469
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAo06JO0NR
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdPp5Vf0S3
married.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlhPPLGiC0
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoVlAABtNJ
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC38ZN3dcLy
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9glWD8iw
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprsrYZvtwD
married her for her beauty.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfPKraRvel
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj02IPpNknr
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3yaCR0oQq
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkhx3l2kLy
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtn1vcd8vp
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE9W7nbb05
‘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.’641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0fjc4wDj0
Her voice grew louder and angrier.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1NhWY8WNE
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq50R5ui6u
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkTnLDGHRB
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Inc1gR3f
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPOYMrDgh
in the sun.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujaEmIPmpD
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYBoX6qbRu
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjMv4fG1f
eyes used to be.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNd1Lc8mOy
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JrHurVYtN
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC78xepxJd
‘I told him he would be sorry’
