He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,958Please respect copyright.PENANAMohd6HB48K
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of958Please respect copyright.PENANA4aJoBzPt8i
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his958Please respect copyright.PENANAz9calyIQek
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know958Please respect copyright.PENANABIfPsrV2Y0
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn958Please respect copyright.PENANAE7l54vpQux
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was958Please respect copyright.PENANA8FXlQOzlJS
his curiosity stronger.958Please respect copyright.PENANACVdEpI0bYB
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him958Please respect copyright.PENANAqI1GYxauMp
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.958Please respect copyright.PENANAVjump027Qe
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.958Please respect copyright.PENANAbaUXWMheXP
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.958Please respect copyright.PENANAyv1RwDoQUt
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as958Please respect copyright.PENANAZdUdnDPh7V
it came.958Please respect copyright.PENANARSydsT9diG
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she958Please respect copyright.PENANAc832ZTwW0b
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon958Please respect copyright.PENANA0roNnRjxZg
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.958Please respect copyright.PENANA5dWFvifqn6
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away958Please respect copyright.PENANAmcN4jxQY6i
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened958Please respect copyright.PENANAmpPjRnxMAY
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how958Please respect copyright.PENANAhsPexqMnQz
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.958Please respect copyright.PENANAsYtvP7sNJd
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked958Please respect copyright.PENANAnFWmajs2fn
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured958Please respect copyright.PENANAs9VA4rMf5D
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed958Please respect copyright.PENANAE5WG9dA5oF
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he958Please respect copyright.PENANAwRd63Zphg8
married.958Please respect copyright.PENANAx03EXvBG0z
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her958Please respect copyright.PENANAZqM1AyV0M8
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A958Please respect copyright.PENANAEu97gaPMXv
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with958Please respect copyright.PENANApstsx2cuJo
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only958Please respect copyright.PENANAOehZyd6WUz
married her for her beauty.958Please respect copyright.PENANARmBQJFIoZQ
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing958Please respect copyright.PENANALxJFBnQceB
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.958Please respect copyright.PENANAwhqHlTBSGl
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was958Please respect copyright.PENANA6MvEvCSn1k
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on958Please respect copyright.PENANAi1lhREnTiU
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.958Please respect copyright.PENANAv0uElch0PY
‘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.’958Please respect copyright.PENANAg2SMORqNy7
Her voice grew louder and angrier.958Please respect copyright.PENANAW9cKMmj1xr
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’958Please respect copyright.PENANAEefmIDjeUK
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red958Please respect copyright.PENANAc1lSkpBM8k
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin958Please respect copyright.PENANAlAkOgBwRka
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted958Please respect copyright.PENANAlpO3RCXcj4
in the sun.958Please respect copyright.PENANA4m82Vm34oa
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the958Please respect copyright.PENANA77kJYDBmvv
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his958Please respect copyright.PENANAtesxxTPttV
eyes used to be.958Please respect copyright.PENANAFZd6tKFv35
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.958Please respect copyright.PENANAjoiZPSsBYP
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,958Please respect copyright.PENANAyyKKLFgiu2
‘I told him he would be sorry’
