He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnizukg8vZS
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADy4aucws4
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6AyHEmUD
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo1CZkbgm6
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SOtf6wKMj
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTUIFLVxjJ
his curiosity stronger.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEYn7k2Fjn
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bKVrogGj
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRtlMVeUnh
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzNRxzbYWW
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JG0pHmpR3
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTUzc4dgZ3
it came.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3olEpkIIe
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPH6VPJBr
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzz4HdWP5H
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHhV0KxF5i
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAreVwkxq4
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uk0WuhC0V
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y0hJlTB32
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi3IAhi5M7
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgL1kDM6r9
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AjUN3M8f0
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZkPU0SttS
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ssP5aj4y5
married.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTSfssbOUV
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF9iG6W06G
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2CNiPeGv9
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ007JHNl1JW
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjyRzWeCG2
married her for her beauty.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNXzuS4jDK
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQj4zgfFx4
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdieWsupW2i
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAw0m3vm34
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWX6azW5O8
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JR0XBtp6r
‘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.’546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7AWiJveSy
Her voice grew louder and angrier.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc0i6AGNhN
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaCmqOSKLB
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDfrwB4AfQ
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCWnztzmTY
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFpxiQ8DiD
in the sun.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuG4TTvDHf
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRVzUjzML0
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SK4zIjqYu
eyes used to be.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR4H6dtOQl
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6KzydTKxo
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1OKQwcntI
‘I told him he would be sorry’
