He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoUL2BwGbR
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBcjv6edL2
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPlgXUXPrY
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPftTjb3Y
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFMn7ZlZJ
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9zBHeTyv4
his curiosity stronger.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dhyyruA0F
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h2Ec0dWiw
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3TlKj70R2
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8PL7UWtuC
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo7ZjboK6y
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8HkGkrKXT
it came.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIycYuCo9o9
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmf2x2pWDg
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT15i2z2Gr7
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OXCd2rCDg
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqbJXcvOD
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQecJZEtaF
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRvJCx37bf
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTA4Ae7o2E
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorLiGAxvPq
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Br6TJeLp
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwvehRjMdi
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrOTllD7L5
married.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk23AyBMQz
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0m1a2IQHe
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELxvDabPC
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Mfgzj1W5
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzOmvRlzM
married her for her beauty.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkgN6tfTqD
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3u0Cy8ANE
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmnojk4Bg
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD00GDjE9R
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZazptsRyas
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGj18Mbh1Y
‘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.’510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw9FQ5YlTC
Her voice grew louder and angrier.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UZyVSf1N3
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbZMGCJBpj
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6QPzmaWxl
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZaQ6XPzUu
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY8P9l0PMm
in the sun.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3djKPQp31
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH2dwEW77U
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3S7gGiTzE
eyes used to be.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBspmXsXtnO
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw4FfnoFny
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF2YKAs2C6
‘I told him he would be sorry’
