He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9H2HVlX4v
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrHSkV2dJn
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Ix2AbH6X
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvX9wHCDx
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfAYb0zNSB
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaZmKyqhH9
his curiosity stronger.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6MZT5n1hU
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3fGqPC3X
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCuw30Bz7U
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG64YlsXpF5
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqd5cBadK3
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvQKXXIzj
it came.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuXe5dOgL1
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripuIyseHr
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1PlOY9gNm
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ziEHsy3yA
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkTGY75ss7
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ010QJC8Re7
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJySSLq5zSB
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupBmnPESvs
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHW1UzlvF
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWsz28PE79
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSF0RQorqT
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8HSD38GrD
married.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYnOLqPzNh
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpEYN4MvLr
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtThimiSKnj
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nAnI4zZ1G
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zds93eBd
married her for her beauty.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDY0TVZo2n
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tPzRqpfso
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiYld0rhqb
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhRz1gxocB
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX482lITQz
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxYnig0i8
‘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.’511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl30Uk8hME
Her voice grew louder and angrier.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk5TZZd4kx
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QMjlKsXvw
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXZnGmsbBd
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fjvu2eaJ4
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgwmmEUqe
in the sun.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8fWXYaKU
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP4mz9eIS2
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm5yt80w5d
eyes used to be.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtQuOnzwUJ
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAINRhbPv
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRNKGRzXX
‘I told him he would be sorry’
