He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQECJLfiWw
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjJKol7Y4T
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kMD7MjTHm
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3YxAkmWD9
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06IYjlJB4H
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IFsMwuXwx
his curiosity stronger.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk40YT1VcZu
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tt6KutYxE
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh7Vfsd9gm
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGVrhg6H0M
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrewQamPPOJ
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4pkkg0D8A
it came.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEOkUsS2oW
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQw0WEovjz
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsfovpJkfk
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8XNFw3lAq
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXma0Jryl
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQbS5SXTOe
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KALsloQLr
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeo8wgZzgx
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0GbdZdnsN
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGTeGCf56E
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyuJm5CoZJ
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc8I0rMFNn
married.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnNd4eZARV
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChgmKfjR4h
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ewDaacWJz
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2mgk26acG
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLeodrjReE
married her for her beauty.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeaXeWvgRq
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E6FbFt7zq
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx85CxzPOF
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Vyfj9SMV
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCE0OycGBV
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa37lpyR9z
‘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.’580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhujRfS37t1
Her voice grew louder and angrier.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKiwuQ1A83
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Mbs7KzCn
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFFFKOZRgB
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U5iezCjxw
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB54QRmT9d
in the sun.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftu9Uru9je
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuUU5wy2ha
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIM2ykKinB
eyes used to be.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghaQ62Vkn
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe5ciJxAXR
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,580Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNtun80oVx
‘I told him he would be sorry’
