He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJyLx4ddY
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LsAkUXdc
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71LjWXXDn
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VSMnzeH6r
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1UqZpTl8
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFnIbsb6Cb
his curiosity stronger.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNFjNFJtn
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeFFx3I50D
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS5fKCvNkT
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16Tq8tuq9M
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRfdKSwjdF
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P1zV4xrhM
it came.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeWxONLmNj
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP33CQGL6tl
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8JB6Pkp7S
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoeilyfcUI
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9wz0KT04B
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpUZDwp9i
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRoCuH0LWF
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNEEEGdB5k
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1L8FVHw66
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U0yV4PgNT
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShXY5DnOJJ
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh996NiwN0c
married.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSv3ifA4uC
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYodfiWWek
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdZjVUpOOG
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgk9piF8y2
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtid1EVvYJA
married her for her beauty.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O8RUyvcQ9
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp3WbTWkJ4
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBRow8zciq
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK4zmlHt80
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhykI8WfDkV
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYs5Jcvxcx
‘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.’582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIfp2lk3Sk
Her voice grew louder and angrier.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSeuNNr5W
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFIAlp2LgU
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4w2zrL7Lk
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ8eWc4Qms
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFw2ANaeUS
in the sun.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RpKCe3zqT
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZLiiWX72p
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48IIElIFdW
eyes used to be.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsh1xiYH5w
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UuU4r4BOg
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,582Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFYoAnuGNE
‘I told him he would be sorry’
