He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkndK428sHT
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlO2GrKYe9
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnH5udGG9
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRisrwU57eW
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilNS0PaCtr
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7FJbGtX8a
his curiosity stronger.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA0GTKba0v
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Ubfrv06Y
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXzZaX1CtQ
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUDDvtLKEw
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZ1RNS5eg
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VSmNTOh9
it came.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiFWQwazn9
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzUr7xlyLn
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJkeW1cray
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GOI2HbSws
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZkdnRmHfm
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1CvIAf8At
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoNQVkaDKq
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGsrUhTOwN
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33CUyoTG3d
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWejRRv22h
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eNVmBeeyd
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e5uNWVWgw
married.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8dfT1GIWa
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSDfsMtGwz
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeDnQ1iiZS
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHAn7b89om
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyTctaMioP
married her for her beauty.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLNHtcwdH
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxszRX9uBY
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqWWPJqb6p
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPZHaMHTM
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2FzVPkh4i
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv5vTteZ0X
‘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.’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgTAOh8D4h
Her voice grew louder and angrier.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFudt0UeVP
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLmDeTDyM3
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO4H0X6nuh
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc58NQNKot
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8bDasaxMW
in the sun.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMo5O9AAXC
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrm8KQl5Tv
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb8uI2jKgl
eyes used to be.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqxg2Cc7T
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxmqbda7LB
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgijDVhgY1
‘I told him he would be sorry’
