He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7bvNNwgL
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TFc035aUy
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAANuQ7j4YW
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9WMl04aID
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hdxPXv8Je
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVgDtCXoU1
his curiosity stronger.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrwb67PGcP
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkapZX17jXm
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4qwlmllyu
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bwKA08waa
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEpJ93xA4
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyumKmmGNfU
it came.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9WeDUHXHw
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU790Q3f5YV
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LCLky9IdH
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoGTVFeqC4
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDOeNfH6A
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RazNKDnll
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Ohqd6iGZ
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3wjpL08c
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAWkxkN3bq
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUlno4r0jS
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV9L4uoqAx
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk43646xHFj
married.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YwdEuJcCq
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPItPs6aeoz
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDqfsTs5W
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174B4aRSEY
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbP6FsLvyK
married her for her beauty.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgxhaU6v9G
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWn1Ko8Ky
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrmjYzo9WZ
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg4XUyDvO7
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYSL4mQnhi
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVXF3tXY1U
‘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.’596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95eJRkkcxK
Her voice grew louder and angrier.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIxW1QPcUf
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd6wyWi3Rf
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktpGF4mzqw
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOdH5SCxo
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyVYao114B
in the sun.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFwPVetcSd
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9prGATpKwA
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9BYkCkvc
eyes used to be.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8njKW0rL4t
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AzzrUmvLC
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFy3CUHKBN
‘I told him he would be sorry’
