He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dGBoden2U
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WS9gmj36a
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6rh6C3g0
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX9OVg2kEt
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV1pwWfx9O
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK3MXh9Nhs
his curiosity stronger.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohKFG6rK5
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbihR5GrK7c
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIHeyK3tF
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZeRV2Zy6E
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB3GqdyrmT
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDnTbND6V
it came.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKt5bxP4z7
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTSQeiX4Ub
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr9BFVeHGj
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYPMiuM9PQ
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmL5joDYF7
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaO5hSi4Z5
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcznNW3oeHT
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm4O1iGgRj
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktEVdMLS1T
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2RtYCExsU
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6PO39fvYJ
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMo5BVf96q
married.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavEGLlgONR
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIABCC9ti2
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFe9T3Lol1
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCUBs8AKF2
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ac8w1mucC
married her for her beauty.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XM2jhnujY
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdNGgaKCKA
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRoErp3ovC
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7AQKmzCMq
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfbr24StJN
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadv4MGGmxH
‘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.’671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AHxekgEh3
Her voice grew louder and angrier.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzud3IUl8Rn
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEhbyqO6ll
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTsbV4ZCSI
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CVm20OsHw
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNM4yhvEjs
in the sun.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroY8xBKlRy
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwL0rxnQkB
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfuFXkdU0y
eyes used to be.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4On3Ng6Z
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hBmV7HApL
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV66bRmJoQ
‘I told him he would be sorry’
