He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01eHIYsZFm
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5bFGzQEHx
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeusxivI8mM
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXCqS6rBSm
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC7YtLkiAa
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w8DLyacKa
his curiosity stronger.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGbYUC8okd
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLCQUkERNR
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxEEc7wvYy
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWF3ffUvvM
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgGsdFv6zi
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNrfFtQ2R
it came.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuPGZaY5oy
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBNlLgh0sq
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2ecvvE7x
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zAO5alj9h
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYZETGNK3B
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcDHc9sW2
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOnsyhjeD
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ZOq5cscC
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BbEyD54iQ
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJzh14QI0r
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmA1PV8Pg
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigR6Id3TJg
married.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fz5C2zzrd
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIUzLFFxR1
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDUPJvouVs
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukqAXrkZEl
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5YSa0lSqV
married her for her beauty.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7KtQI4wBE
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuV88LqEHP
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSxsEkWcI
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLHOmDGCD
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaaodt587b
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CMdPh2Mp
‘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.’599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6FSHVASMY
Her voice grew louder and angrier.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgq0b6d2Y0
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvHkar7lZG
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlCmTPZn1K
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T3OPVXty8
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A9k2cppA7
in the sun.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudN1S0rQT
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbewREZbF6E
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBjjgRh45x
eyes used to be.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1NuWAGq3F
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFi2mVwta
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,599Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3JGCMF0Bq
‘I told him he would be sorry’
