He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqJZdLj4r
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRqp8MrWNE
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmLdIER5oX
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCanf2K6oG
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQm6Cur4af
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknH4O5UivK
his curiosity stronger.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm9FOgrRaC
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhSd08ywRd
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6K3S13QyC
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtj2fn0tx
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGcRgyNO7n
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzimmAX8Am
it came.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabytGXycTU
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDSjXcRjpu
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7AcEc5BWZ
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlhDCPBrIR
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yL22xmwa
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTU9lXw58Z
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZygkgK4C
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjAfromexp
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i6RYnYOnm
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9VQ0lCw5
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQn8hJia7G
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFheSi3z2s
married.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2708tjtO9
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr0PsyyUPH
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XYafnYxqr
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmc46ofLqz
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZ1QbO73B
married her for her beauty.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kBFaAbYM
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5gpV3PiWK
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKDOioNuy
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JwPtURhCt
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel7suo2BSE
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE7cFrA2fK
‘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.’545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ee1ulGye
Her voice grew louder and angrier.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtNOonzCtU
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOWyzGhjzf
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweS9FL5CmO
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenAMbWLs72
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw9wYru30J
in the sun.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdi3DWTiji
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThcMX67kCQ
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg2C1vqHJF
eyes used to be.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrRjHTk9C8
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf81Af6HUY
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLonDKC1zC
‘I told him he would be sorry’
