Denise’s Six Sentence Story prompt – Silk
She eventually married a practical man.
He reminds her of cotton, comfortable and reliable.
Husband number one was like linen, raw and earthy, but stubborn.
Number two husband was like nylon, clung to her legs and ended up a fake.
Husband number three was the worst of them all who reminded her of silk, sleek and deceiving.
The marriage with him was a string of slippery lies.
Cotton does seem preferable to linen, nylon or silk. I like how you compared the different husbands she had to the kind of clothing she might have worn.

Leather sounds tough, kinky and lasted like a rush. If may not last either. ๐ค

I could definitely feel all those men, and yes! Cotton is versatile, breathable, sturdy but able to shape himself around his partner, genuine and better as he ages!
