He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmClH3X0MR8
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHHRgL6qBi
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BUD96FpxZ
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPP1sfApW
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvgoxSXup7
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHma7GEdeqt
his curiosity stronger.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJIlhJWv7
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrDL7YZpWe
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkIk76ouM8
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MYnoFEapO
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE021Mhk4Oq
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yYBFWlwzV
it came.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XwrE7lbav
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA2BsPWd6B
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XDmngYc8L
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRBTRrPAtI
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5G67abmce
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gr5QS8Atn
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqG1uBGmL
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ424H4ywGYr
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1b8g5L6cM
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgrCg0hSmd
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxw94w4UcS
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdi8xoYTnk
married.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILeZUyWd9
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6qFs67hOj
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4We6yqH7r
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t2snf3edY
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuynSPZSOff
married her for her beauty.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVhDxoXfK5
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q14BzZ9Jy
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8meI95kov4
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamwBhFiSRb
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyk0Ny1KH
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiblhuCHyi
‘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.’544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgGSa9x7F2
Her voice grew louder and angrier.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwIdEp3td
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAjoowGgcH
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCfTSoogEB
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHeNoyN3M1
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTiAaMJxxU
in the sun.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEo0pZlubb
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0LsnhoF8
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPenMbxjc9
eyes used to be.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCEnIXVHkc
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrySVTq8fX
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,544Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf6iwG3iD2
‘I told him he would be sorry’
