Before she could even spread her hands, she felt a tightening around her neck and it was a matter of seconds before she started gasping for air. It was all too sudden for her to understand anything. As a reflex action, her hands went to her neck and she felt a rope. Within seconds, it dawned upon her that she was being strangled by him. In the meantime, he looked down at her, watching her face turning absolutely red and he had to admit, it was a painful sight to behold. Yet, he had no choice. His heart broke but still, he kept tightening the rope. His breathing had turned heavy yet to let her have a peaceful death, he spoke, “I’m sorry to do this to you, but if not for this, you’ll be having a more painful death. ”
And after struggling for a few minutes, he saw her eyes rolling back and hands going loose, conforming to her death.
A lone tear escaped his eyes when he saw her lifeless form. In a broken voice, he whispered, “She spares no one.”
