He sat there next to his wife’s sleeping body, scissors in hand. She looked calm,933Please respect copyright.PENANAZFklh9yvp0
peaceful as she slept. He, on the other hand was anxious, his mind in a turmoil of933Please respect copyright.PENANA17q31OAoU4
conflict. He had been for a while now. The ribbon around her neck had taken over his933Please respect copyright.PENANAkkRVQg6FaQ
mind and every time he saw her, that was all he could think off. He needed to know933Please respect copyright.PENANAMkMvZyLBYz
what lay under the thin satin piece of cloth. That was why he sat next to before dawn933Please respect copyright.PENANA7zKaVBP4OM
contemplating on his decision. Did he love her enough to respect her decisions or was933Please respect copyright.PENANArrgZQgK8p3
his curiosity stronger.933Please respect copyright.PENANAj3H5vkT99b
He leaned forward making up his mind, however, this time, something else held him933Please respect copyright.PENANAontLVd2Lsk
back. Her words running through the back of his mind.933Please respect copyright.PENANAbC3XmXqMQP
Don’t do it. You’ll be sorry.933Please respect copyright.PENANA4l66MYiIDJ
The six words echoed like a warning at the back of his mind. It could not be that bad.933Please respect copyright.PENANAJufArqPeeU
Right? He thought. However, he knew his wife’s temper and he knew it went as fast as933Please respect copyright.PENANAcFBNQxAOaO
it came.933Please respect copyright.PENANANBp7sX8MVw
He drew closer to the sleeping woman. He brushed her hair away from her face and she933Please respect copyright.PENANAMIBv2Q5vOu
stirred a little in her sleep. His grip on the scissors tightened as he gripped the ribbon933Please respect copyright.PENANA0eVnF0YYPG
with forefinger and thumb. He snipped it, letting it fall away from her neck.933Please respect copyright.PENANA9RkYCGT5TE
Nothing prepared him for what he saw underneath the thin strip of cloth. He drew away933Please respect copyright.PENANAvkgo4Ie0h4
from her, panic setting in as he fell to the floor, backing away. His breathing quickened933Please respect copyright.PENANAb9cRuUa4qF
as scrambled to get on his feet. He had never seen anything like it and no matter how933Please respect copyright.PENANAcnZB28axbY
much he wanted to, he could not tear his eyes away from her neck.933Please respect copyright.PENANANjIIDPGzuA
Surgical stitches marked the area underneath the ribbon all around her neck. It looked933Please respect copyright.PENANA5OFIxYtMId
as though her head was sewn on to her body. Her otherwise white skin was discoloured933Please respect copyright.PENANAumYQes28xC
black and blue. The colour of rotting flesh. As he inched closer to the door, he noticed933Please respect copyright.PENANAmHlYoYEa6T
the colour had begun to spread. His heart hammered in his chest. Who or what had he933Please respect copyright.PENANAt3HNpkifHj
married.933Please respect copyright.PENANA3605oqpxV8
He stopped in his tracks when her eyes flew open. The awful colour had enveloped her933Please respect copyright.PENANA1hCyyejXTN
face and her hair had turned ashen. She turned towards him, looking into his eyes. A933Please respect copyright.PENANAWZgDmshrNX
shiver ran down his spine. The kind blue eyes that he was used to, was replaced with933Please respect copyright.PENANAIMOLUtXAGK
black. She looked nothing like the woman he knew and he wondered if he had only933Please respect copyright.PENANA3R1xC5Gnyh
married her for her beauty.933Please respect copyright.PENANAxwAtwqtPwD
He was frozen in place as he watched her stalk towards him, a faint eerie smile playing933Please respect copyright.PENANAd9qrH1y080
on her face as her shrivelled up hand gripped the ribbon.933Please respect copyright.PENANA83fIUOLwdd
‘I was wondering how long would you be able to hold back.’ She said. Her voice was933Please respect copyright.PENANAJF0p3KfruF
hoarse, as though her voice box was cut open. His eyes drifted over to the stiches on933Please respect copyright.PENANAzYeUR2d1Vh
her neck that looked like it would not hold for very long.933Please respect copyright.PENANAVFey5c0XFr
‘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.’933Please respect copyright.PENANArv3nCql0lY
Her voice grew louder and angrier.933Please respect copyright.PENANADzcvbrW1Bo
‘You took away so much from me, it is only fair for me to take away something from you’933Please respect copyright.PENANA0TsMOYxUQw
she finished, standing inches away from him.
A beautiful lady stepped out of the room that she had shared with her husband. A red933Please respect copyright.PENANAjrXErMKAFk
ribbon wrapped around her neck. Her brown hair fell down to her waist and her skin933Please respect copyright.PENANAOXU8kabaGq
smooth and soft. However, her most striking feature; her hazel brown eyes that glinted933Please respect copyright.PENANAoNemyXP3bL
in the sun.933Please respect copyright.PENANABZANoPgJTt
She shut the door behind her with a soft click, leaving her ex-husband’s body on the933Please respect copyright.PENANAagWCVehqUs
floor, a thick liquid trickling down his face like bloody tears, from the sockets where his933Please respect copyright.PENANAZZBCwmOKHw
eyes used to be.933Please respect copyright.PENANA1b6QYiFo4G
Hazel brown eyes that glinted in the sun.933Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOJqXmKAZ
The woman walked away from the room without looking back,933Please respect copyright.PENANASaoFoZDHnW
‘I told him he would be sorry’
