He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ6yIeZ6XW
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG0Gsh7bao
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZtnk7hnR
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLOWAiuEi
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPVlu8Osc0
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrpbbzsqEw
his curiosity stronger.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEPWi4Qle4
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1YGEmFZYf
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltbsXe26T
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee4vLPYZEq
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMhHh7pPDB
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WA1eGJOf
it came.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡingRbsFGi4
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddqXXzUOKu
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijV6bFruYk
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1daV8KX210
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLzNtMIYbk
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyRpZ09McS
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIEkJUOYu
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47uLN7U8ko
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoVJJF2JFy
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AMqsyVljU
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaUfb3ULjH
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2FQGPK5M8
married.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKURwbH91x
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4enVBZrnZ
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKcLOYmgtc
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuOBL5WGEJ
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1HinuyKNT
married her for her beauty.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRueNMdqL8
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneXipHOPog
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGYdkZSrUa
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbU5EO4dTh
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLnionBrz
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLvLV8tKBJ
‘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.’670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CibMUnm1i
Her voice grew louder and angrier.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfrCDaqqoW
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahsRfLwSBd
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ceiwEPV0
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0AIqHlxyQ
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjDELzBKcQ
in the sun.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymu4NpNMv3
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHvov5DtsN
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYPVa9ni6
eyes used to be.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUspT4XQeH
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2HdLBvNP
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFICBuGTEn0
‘I told him he would be sorry’
