He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIskyXMzpr
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA19HOSchIV
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQaVwocVIQ
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiB6nIWkun
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEp632J724
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjvHbQ1tA4
his curiosity stronger.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsypSUAS1Gt
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD3ea3rRJs
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHddv0ygMRE
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiLNXwH5Yc
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEX2GubKKd
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMki0d4iGg
it came.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNdLCjepjA
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkrxV7UslZ
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVbbqvu8AI
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UMatHFSDl
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAJzumrpHm
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBdN6w4i9
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYxnP0Hmmc
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hJXpfP2XY
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJW2EUczjq
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUjXC2DCyO
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXHvkHsFn
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYDtRROwL
married.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHvQHlPxOa
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DVeXyzMB8
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphBf2MCfQI
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzxQhltyR
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgI8R4QCiO
married her for her beauty.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa12PWx5Sh
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJBXsVoOM
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpSjiPOixX
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkjK8Negvc
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrCOkL3NyQ
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmcJKwPUzo
‘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.’669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGYLkfvyr
Her voice grew louder and angrier.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBzNkbT0H
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv40vuLXOaj
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrP7oUA6a4
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIML53NwIAD
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21hLUpYilB
in the sun.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam9wKYyyk3
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMow5xIoxG
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40WvJpjOO4
eyes used to be.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jsN0R4sdT
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYavwpNXRks
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,669Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyhBVbhNIt
‘I told him he would be sorry’
