He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡravQjNJOmh
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcA2qQTWRn
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIroVcXgqEq
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv2Q5LAhMV
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5KUz2Hkv
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa8erOF3df
his curiosity stronger.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNkMcNGdVH
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCpYkmXkF
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MrOdpkFS1
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bUK4mzwnF
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbZk59CePR
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMUHyqhVTB
it came.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVusrqgbZ2
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYSRr0LEim
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzog6SR1ZXa
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IzKV3ZUu
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnI1cjjv47
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRewy4yHdl
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jcffF39W2
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXVzjDYnyo
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA5jRCWgiI
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zaUtyZQQh
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUFgUM4aAM
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdGzKpPGT
married.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YP2lG9PkD
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3NKsM1obI
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZzKBAEArm
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisYgc1IEU
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA56EYs6Odo
married her for her beauty.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNv06J2H6B
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtL9DNJSwD
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LGR3gLb9i
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pPXul23my
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCiQm9xV03
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFKX066Sw7
‘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.’631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAWswzJXEj
Her voice grew louder and angrier.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAkpirKJGl
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t6bKaHftQ
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBo5wfQv7F
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYuDeF5MbX
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqJaNfukd
in the sun.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHWAh5ZIRQ
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZpuPXJyZU
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0N5SGDL8j
eyes used to be.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkYFLZAwA8
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67tuHvGJ4r
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTb08Te4S
‘I told him he would be sorry’
