He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlthNk2RL
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF1h5ctfb3
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBuqLomyhE
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9pq429OMA
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLZjwjw6To
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajZrTaTHF
his curiosity stronger.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXun2Qdh57n
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljvQ7vf1R
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwctpkvE8b
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsPB45qNu4
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxkEcL43TZ
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL92pbh1LA
it came.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWggks5jOv
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOLmLbb9Sk
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFB8UylLm
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U0K4x3iYL
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ue4ijRGT5
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14acBCbSna
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaItph52QgN
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKvPo8cfir
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmG3VOUEIy
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAA0i6hwa
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmnxLi6yAk
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxdsdaq8C
married.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHI67k87ef
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp1YLy0UJK
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKqLkc3yWY
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvGjzNOiFF
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4B3h1DQxH
married her for her beauty.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Cxs5HzQI
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40cILFHuE
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWVg6I8ww
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4KSVV72RW
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg50NkmqNzi
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2EodNJZHC
‘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.’651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFNuW71FoM
Her voice grew louder and angrier.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS9SNoHzrH
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1g2ayksUZ
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgeZAjRRsm
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKlYuDS0sm
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU1lSpFych
in the sun.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMgdfdb0BZ
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GiA7Ga69V
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn3Vopwljr
eyes used to be.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZNE15Zs7a
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x0vVXJYpG
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYeRWE1P9u
‘I told him he would be sorry’
