    I think you should go for the wife moonlighting as a hooker in Dubai. It will give you scope to add in some detailed chapters with depraved sexual activity. I think I would prefer to read about the perverted sexual habits of wealthy Arabians as opposed to the health scares of some scaffolders after they are involved in a workplace accident.

    Did his wife show any signs of sexual indiscretion before she moved to Dubai? Had she any commitment issues? Will the scaffolders be fired?

    I had only intended it to be a short story, but it seems people are hungry for more. I will do up a draft for a second chapter maybe. I might even name him. People have assumed he has a manly name because he works on a building site but it could be anything I suppose. Could even have a girls name but identify as a he. Anything could happen.

    Call him in something asexual like " Alex ".

    Keep your readers on their toes.

    Maybe he could be called Alex and his wife could be called Alex and the most successful manager of Manchester United could be called Alex.

    You can see the improvement over the thread but there is very little market for poetry anymore.
