He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5c1KV610c
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4EX1AZ4ah
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWho58kn1m
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iv3uBYmy1
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0wPesSP8E
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUcvNPMeIC
his curiosity stronger.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwGXd7Kh92
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtWEoSx3LI
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG58XhZl340
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd12yr6KnC
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7OkhoGcyI
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO6u8C7TGU
it came.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsvwxTO9GA
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAeFBZnRmf
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3BExXN1mE
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd32pCpxfJ
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7L0nK2tOI
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDVOI1gnNU
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12GH4Jpdtj
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQWnwbUr50
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXHKZnKJ5j
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepvHNT7LEW
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqIUisDY6A
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDx1s25r79
married.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZNdC6guTB
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgemAFJhGz
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry2ff7ZQWc
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiwYeJhTJY
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLtsGinWfO
married her for her beauty.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOXRm6NdzV
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHQQ1w6obn
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWTp5Wllm
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUSBMyf4o
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRODiGOPHHx
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2C4jeaNbR
‘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.’634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0dj6LcdQo
Her voice grew louder and angrier.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFAWWP6Zi2
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNlwKBBMPz
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyzgbA2HFc
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Pjxo6ugR
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONBVSok1ZN
in the sun.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4MUQlZ9fj
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjcb0WGw5C
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZChRfBwPm
eyes used to be.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fwpgYjmpj
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZzsyWDYEj
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sOWRcxM2r
‘I told him he would be sorry’
