He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDzecsEjco
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrouzq0nLM
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tCZZha6UT
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm39xqvjNP
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzaMs29SYj
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jPoSgitek
his curiosity stronger.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RLs9GLJrY
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmDRMQgHVk
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opQHt3O8f
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z03DsmTHG
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiSjd35NWO
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Y5V6PGyS
it came.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCXMKS3sw5
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT9N0ODGTI
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1YVkKFZ29
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg2bQH2B1S
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Y3mDansq
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJTA00Xa0c
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsg9eDpMM
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4958PdJcw
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8522mZrm97
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouHfsmE4hT
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcXoEErTav
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMchDVcGAW
married.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRhMNbq8C
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wc4itqlPp
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPijnDEMi
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWBFtliOc2
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwqoXYXuHh
married her for her beauty.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73HaBikM6B
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWkg9JX1yp
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCcbDuvMHz
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ILtd72ErQ
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMisSJfgek
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0R8UiYoFi
‘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.’568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD56zQVmm8U
Her voice grew louder and angrier.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTP9DDjEtW
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavTqLjTeJI
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEylh4qDwS
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WYinSik09
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeeR2DJ9MT
in the sun.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3sjtqqyjY
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjzKilOczH
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQafWPrbgr9
eyes used to be.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekNNEXvwCc
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3nAt6wkL8
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,568Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnVY5nXvBr
‘I told him he would be sorry’
