He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAWtghJaYQ
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiGik21E9d
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzJ4vJP997
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsjzNT9P7
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFDJXzhBNI
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrB1RtLOKV
his curiosity stronger.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHiO90HLgu
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvnwC40zUx
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIazuNbqdB
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNjSMYTj79
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsEAPuEiy
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsPzb2oC6B
it came.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OwMbTBzZa
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnV27TtgOM
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXpMw82Zh
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2u7X89g3h
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0NAKu0xvI
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cJeDCsOct
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ZqMqVrVo
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7944eiqv0
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeXAmlvSmS
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W4WmYH9dq
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWzYTgLX7s
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh1KltJp6C
married.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9pHkBUoNB
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQA9vLEGVg
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLsu678JzO
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyg2F2z64S
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0i7kWg0FP
married her for her beauty.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCCgey126E
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPs2hxFke
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NjXkO8sr5
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgS1aD8Pyy
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZLSdwQQN7
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53yPuaGdio
‘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.’451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3JoeU0b7
Her voice grew louder and angrier.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XkT4h28DJ
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZFFrwota
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDsVkmDVDS
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQhZhWqUJT
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPkA3fvOkW
in the sun.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSROraauLv
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pVKKUibVn
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vq28bJ7D4
eyes used to be.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcb4SAf8WE
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3T23GI44M
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTQzaDdnRZ
‘I told him he would be sorry’
