He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMevT1021O
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeW2ig6QtS
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc6M98drSq
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbAjd2lScA
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBqIikScUH
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghvAupWuL
his curiosity stronger.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUMC26x0O
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq46xVacIkq
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn8uR3wlFX
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwi0Bt8G5
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AjG43KZzr
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOiTi3fRkN
it came.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3OmJ72Es
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNqkGizrIF
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9LTUdoVXL
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcLF56A2Y2
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbUGWhNigb
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWgSLDc7tw
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Q3plURfh
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPIRhfvov
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTX083XkCB
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsZRgnEMdb
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpVO3jBdmV
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorALKspiUq
married.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMkX3oJMH
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0R8VkEvSq
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Iv6u4Qjlw
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8o96743F
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbE1i68pu3
married her for her beauty.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH9JcmvOt0
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG1myJ8m8O
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3notfz1Ul
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6or5BWYEU
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGaH1Gett7
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHO6AtAYNS
‘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.’643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9N8Q7rGrr
Her voice grew louder and angrier.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjefRlJfz6p
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFXx4lkrX
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLceZynWLe
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwXzRzE3r6
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrMvCbP61a
in the sun.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi293EYfunH
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZPKdtnJ3L
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaVxjsF6NX
eyes used to be.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlsF7QbmAm
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ak4PDXQHr
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,643Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKvz7nCBD
‘I told him he would be sorry’
