He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbatDlEnrx
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDFGwkLpt6
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpGfosvZd0
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TV7JEF78
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6X22c7E3M
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo06VLWzbY
his curiosity stronger.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKBu4kNaOY
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ujwpuPFYB
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb2OLROFQj
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpw0CbMLpL
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDoKlhGxtP
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MfmRVKrLH
it came.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIdvAza35m
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMZadN2P2s
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7oKmii9x0
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp87sAFxDS
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JzGfUfJ05
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I2QjT0I48
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqkQqpg0d2
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTRaqVXBEp
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUuReqnH4Q
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw6je3fzTM
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVtNRpfYR8
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMfVEEvKyD
married.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hTALAgGv
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQTaBO25X5
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm064d8Io8u
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYDOtMIPb
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5FdXKht0f
married her for her beauty.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCxYl7bZg7
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwKvQ9BbI3
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BXX7fgCJ9
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GCpmmaALt
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSECr0tPGNc
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWwALKZp0n
‘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.’552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiuWcP2G0j
Her voice grew louder and angrier.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzKIdg2ptI
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqz9m72NBU
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpJ3qg6iU
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0dJlRO9Ls
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWgMjNsFCg
in the sun.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR6qmFf2HB
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwypBz2jJA
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Doto9wIa1
eyes used to be.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClnO0Zft2a
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwCARVq3yw
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,552Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFqj1kfuMC
‘I told him he would be sorry’
