"Death of a Salesman", or Do You Ever Choose to Write an Erotic Tragedy?

An anonymous comment on Colrain:

Wow that ending was super sad. Realities of war for sure, but still caught me off guard. Damn.

I've done this twice.

My Aftermath story is about the marriage breaking apart, when the husband couldn't deal with the changed wife after her abduction and assault. And at the end of the story, it implies they died longing for each other.

love this kinda stuff.. ive inserted myself as the assaulted wife in my recent story, Tess Takes the Train where she’s assaulted on a train and it turns into a gangbang and its sequel Tess Takes to the Streets is basically her regressing after lots of therapy and it destroying her marriage as she falls in love with her attacker. The final chapter (for now) I’m finishing off and very much an erotic tragedy steeped in depravity.

My Pandaemonium story last year had a melancholy end, though there was a 'could have been worse' element to it. It clearly wasn't to everyone's taste, as the views, votes, everything about it is underwhelming. But I liked it. It's a Gay Male story: https://www.literotica.com/s/the-virgin-sharpy

I dithered between tragedy and HEA in my most recent effort, but went for HEA, purely because in a First World War story, most people would expect tragedy .

I did Wuthering Heights with a farmer's gangbang on the windy moors in the old pub that was haunted by horny ghosts, but they all had to leave early to get the cows in for milking.

I've had enough real unhappy endings to wanna write them.

I have a couple of stories with sad endings but tomorrow's "Rock and a Hard Place" (being published 9/5/25) feels somewhat tragic. A young woman falls on hard times and makes a series of choices.

If readers like the main character, there may be a sequel or two where things could change, possibly for the better. Both are partially written but we'll see if they're ever completed.

Life can suck enough on its own. I want my fantasy life to always have HEA.

My stories are usually about growth, and more than a few of them get there through a difficult path. Lafayette Hills and Attack Decay Sustain Release in particular are hard and sad even if they ultimately lead to better places.
