He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqH3XI4by
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mEOFom0q
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GhqnUzX7B
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vKwIZePOO
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LnziJ9kFg
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGGwifcrAb
his curiosity stronger.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR9oaiArU1
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eqVGFHvBK
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO957nayRhc
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBitjizoFo8
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIJ26JZsOD
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMJrLkIOQ
it came.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroEWivI9dy
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqVVKd5Ub
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuVQP8BhtD
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEiIcddS5p
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8GhADd344
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIQ7aw0gb
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI0rLZwDXg
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfcCkLb5ue
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIMbYql2pz
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejkIOybgOv
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT2MmVHNQO
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kbn7zqSUG
married.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0PE8TjGVm
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmViNacpkpD
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHvj3Ledr
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXvzoVT6vN
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tqQs0apyF
married her for her beauty.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7t5RnLVvl
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z0EYWYDlO
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aOPcIMt5K
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsoylS003I
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmUviCQ4jU
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUuvlHeqe1
‘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.’611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPynPy6FO
Her voice grew louder and angrier.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCp6OXEZg0
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ATwFJUIMW
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQsnxsGtMW
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFcOguys5
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRMPiGGb1v
in the sun.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyU5K1w4sR
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLWqED3gq
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7J5fnIb4
eyes used to be.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNgpZ7dha3
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUngcqfHFt
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNo8BAF8U8
‘I told him he would be sorry’
