He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOjqhL6XbP
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9XXBkkZLN
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wzrzciaQK
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrodz2xph9p
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdJtliQLQ
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB4awydm5K
his curiosity stronger.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQakfUyw7n
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53rP18Q88v
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqDv2epnpH
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf4ivWR9Gr
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hDad5Kr8b
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTtKgP9RLz
it came.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDFQNg12DY
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZE7dnf2Hl
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QKalvTOuY
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLM5MOn6Jn
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHwoa0mWAF
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNDXqONCK2
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3R2LAkvbz
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwaJWbZx79
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0TwS7PCEh
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTElo6ugeMV
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DF7nJJcuf
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT2MaiQrsE
married.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYW6BPbDrz
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttDxkW62iZ
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu8hnNsj9I
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDftClUkUe
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUrBdnlpt
married her for her beauty.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHSNEz72Hy
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eod7t8i8p
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSJdUxerI
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLCQbU1KU
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5srZhRE10
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHC9egduGq
‘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.’635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U0tq7Pq6G
Her voice grew louder and angrier.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoyfA95w9O
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAynbKhdrn
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuw8jTTex
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK06fVUtMAb
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoMCbkXoDF
in the sun.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOxBA74YV
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYPQ7mAvNW
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XVEmvLTdC
eyes used to be.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwggFdQg3x6
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH60GD59jp
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Q75WeS7G
‘I told him he would be sorry’
