He grunted as he pulled his blood-covered knife free, setting it down on the table next to him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking over the body laying on the table. The body was a female and showed no signs of life. The eyes were sunken in, the joints stiff, skin a slight yellow. There were no signs of rotting. The man smiled, feeling satisfied. He then took a threaded needle off the table and started to sew up the hole on the body's chest. When he had finished, he set the needle down and went to wash his hands. He set up a heart monitor and a breathing apparatus on the body. He then left the room, turning off the lights behind him, and locking the door.
I like the sepia ink effect - how did you do that?
no comma after "He grunted"
"his blood covered knife" - "blood-covered"
no comma after "female"
"joint's" - "joints"
"sign's" - "signs" (don't use an apostrophe to make a plural)
"The man smiled, seeming satisfied"- Is someone else witnessing this? If not, delete "seeming" (or change to "feeling") because there's no one but him and he knows if he feels satisfied or not.
"sew up the whole"- "hole"
"When he had finished, she set" - Do you mean "he set"?
no comma after "needle down"
"Before he left the room... He then left the room" - one of these needs to be deleted
"light's" - "lights"
This reads like the opening scene form a movie - there's no real information here about who this guy is or what's going on with the body (which apparently will be able to breathe now, after whatever he's done to it), but it is enough to catch the reader's attention and arouse curiosity. And a short prologue like this is always a nice thing - to the point, with no droning or excess detail.
This is really intense... add some more description and background... I'm really looking forward to more :D Great beginning... you grabbed the reader's attention

Umm.. I like to write, draw, sing, and listen to music. I hold all my friends dear. I can be a very random person at times. My favorite type of music is Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Rock, Alternative, an.. more..
