He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2enUyGor3B
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUcqJU1uFm
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNgDOPL7Fr
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDhiMyPy4h
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LjrEhkbyR
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1X0H4yI1L
his curiosity stronger.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUVbC768Ih
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Woh0XQF6
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX9HWL29S8
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MDdhHJRc7
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5Wi2Ex0J
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0VCSQpo7X
it came.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7QnWwMdDa
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGNfJH9A9c
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzubFwW1bws
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EDYT3qPKa
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfujQhU2qe
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ECfm65cA
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR88GG52HJ
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfOmRnoxp0
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmRuj0v2aU
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfvHpwHwlO
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUyEdl1xAO
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzjOTL00Ft
married.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uUBRPjleN
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkOofPZHH7
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deW1np9vc
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlllFzxc6Sw
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jjorKD0J
married her for her beauty.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnI4P7lApe
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V3nszjnHp
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrZ080nCAe
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYEDKH2y5l
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKmPl6Qp5
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvAoPdyuUG
‘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.’617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF8BA5y6hA
Her voice grew louder and angrier.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtTHj6peS3
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzTQegYjZ
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MN1XY0gex
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yzSYzHDpL
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkyofTAXlK
in the sun.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KViJUTZPe
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAHp8nEbK1
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tmea4xM6V
eyes used to be.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkUmq9V59Q
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AOzdzjb4O
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,617Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhEl1ireD
‘I told him he would be sorry’
