He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ktbLEv4aJ
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEqfeagnPx
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBvLafwalP
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh6hOGlN8a
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLxtV3QkKW
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUEO4HFTqc
his curiosity stronger.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRqKQ38by8
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqLCzL7Gog
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtDSozqWRz
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz3V9l2rff
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu3EaJiu15
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8tGE5waT8
it came.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAeO9f9Lk4
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGpGQjTvIL
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hweVVbVzL
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5roHEatK4
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfkBacM82u
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRDfKelqxY
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMNwJig2qs
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyOMM0cl8
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3PQpO2wCc
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOih1W4pMuI
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXTXz8eyc3
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPmKilR4S
married.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUPXT56bsq
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlEAW0P7CO
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJSbEfJorh
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6Ikiv5cD
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC97STIgah
married her for her beauty.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Vy0bhTit
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyOfeNYZ6
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7YFMTOCa3
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBeDB7KQx
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAXf8RmegG
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdnZUl4gUa
‘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.’607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1XgMN7pPF
Her voice grew louder and angrier.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbG6FxERE
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKN1PWiGMj
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI89cKvRri5
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM28cTsybw
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkwF3g8OMR
in the sun.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQIg7L03G
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UZKJIE3vp
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOfQQsPCw
eyes used to be.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq7r1sS233
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK469MVnpb
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0unfFTmT
‘I told him he would be sorry’
