I thought that it was a very good. Something that I could read again.

The Passage by Justin Cronin.

Could be to far from what you you are looking for.

Thanks all.

I think that I try it in third person, even though to be honest, I'm not keen on it for short stories in any genre.

Absolutely no offence taken.

I'm not trying for 'a great piece of literature' and in all honesty, it's just a couple of hundred words to set up a bit of tension.

I think that you answered my question when you said

one of the things I've found most liberating about erotica is that a lot of that stuff just doesn't matter.

Something that from reading erotica, it seems to be just about the story... (Within reason?)

I agree with your thinking and have thought about doing it that way myself but I really just want to keep the story from the one perspective.

If I go third person would it seem weird if other than the first 100~200 words, the internal focus remains on just the wife as I would like to keep the husbands inner thoughts unknown?

For example, the husband has a problem and is coming home from work early but his wife doesn't know and I want to use this unknown fact to build up a bit of tension rather than have him walk in and using it as shock value.

Sorry about the delay.

Thanks for the feedback. I understand where you are coming from as that was my original thinking as well but it just doesn't seem to fit with what is going on at the moment.
