He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOQkonnvQD
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKagLcsuBr
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW4NY4NRMd
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4RlY5rZx6
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttpeTPEhTV
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAlGuFYdvi
his curiosity stronger.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwslYzw6RI
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJ0Y9cWg2
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G8VulbhlW
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZgtce0PVE
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ441ViK5mIY
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iWTkKJth2
it came.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBeGzDL4WZ
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HfPSxs5qi
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgSrJG846Y
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo3wPHfIrj
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzbDews50V
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4BBlkY9w
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdj6At3MlD
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUd3SH5xFi
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AAar5hC7d
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSLv9PbP1
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRwCMHyFxF
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRzyNPxPrh
married.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTPxuAfK46
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZ3xDWwyi
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi14u5yXko
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTlZZcXnyH
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXftKXsL3S
married her for her beauty.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPhmgOY7jt
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDaOINOwtb
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7VmESaBvN
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauQdRb7Sop
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25crhlXgS
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLfrl5ulm
‘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.’551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWl21kuh4l
Her voice grew louder and angrier.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBk6flqRDX
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZtosssHOG
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmR2rC5AvS
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLrf7O0dj0
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcJwLtCumy
in the sun.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcy9mXHbRL
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMg6dtuloi
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrKUISXovL
eyes used to be.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2oO23kBfh
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglhIV71cI3
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg6yUwLHK4
‘I told him he would be sorry’
