He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY6FEINlNY
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKvRwaaqY2
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwWS7InJ46
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjYU9VOFeE
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ai8U3kXuV
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6j6cwRWdk
his curiosity stronger.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8HQHZG6N
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2avoQVJVP
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpZ131FHWj
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXRrNsaByV
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwFZBWVyIO
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLgdcuIL4
it came.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYChmL0SnD
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOg3vZvOsI
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUVed994DH
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNFqKk0H1S
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRJ7AFdPD2
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pHyAczvLy
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRUJ5fH2Kp
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5NMqR4oPn
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11F7OVREk
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCOQhWS1a1
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaO1m3vpsZ
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgN95I5Yt
married.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzbLQG5RM
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUlFhT6y4n
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqP1WQBbHo
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9kN9eQgFs
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMltEUBMaB
married her for her beauty.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NQT9y6fA
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb29Z6dIAt
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9xyCz4clg
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzsP5ukS3H
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLrNXk29C
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvmLc1q7N2
‘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.’697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uFM0dcwS3
Her voice grew louder and angrier.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmrDj7QzPm
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWFyFrklue
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoyZzzZw7t
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JEjZsK7v
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13N9pp8WDQ
in the sun.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQVGF1GQgq
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXwgynd1i
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMHOk54f5
eyes used to be.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZVz6zt1zl
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpzYzsqlgY
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEwftSiNp
‘I told him he would be sorry’
