He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LCZ7e2Czq
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOHSaYyB1A
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcotVdRSjC
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PGk1mCQaW
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fJJtSFtGj
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGgB2S6pcz
his curiosity stronger.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOTmGkv4vB
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfHC8Bfn5y
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazezbw9T5x
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbFqqa0GK
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiXxCzw4kb
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWnufg96RH
it came.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTNFexybL
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJ1G6Lc7V
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uGgspHHgl
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc98E8IBaY
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzkdaNflsy
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrY2VirzvQ
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOD3KEagtj
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUpPNrt6JR
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaJDNf3i9m
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZVQ2HHUf
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkRSf2EZ6
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnoRyU2vZY
married.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O0vPNvfGu
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqsJ1lt5bp
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDBBa3ZLLI
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BvtgyNVFF
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUZx6OmWJ
married her for her beauty.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcDBUOLasc
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQg4pi7WlI
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyTqKizI59
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡownuS1bnsz
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHpUlw8pxZ
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFqlaJ8Di1
‘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.’589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQM81G4nB
Her voice grew louder and angrier.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJFOKyB5Xh
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQvs02BrU4
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYWsiQUo5
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSaroSRMk
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AzgyHh2H
in the sun.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nxVYf5MdS
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnTRO09iGQ
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXRz4gn4rX
eyes used to be.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl0Cdemdaf
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0yQXCtlcX
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcXqBMmSOO
‘I told him he would be sorry’
