It's getting increasingly rare that the stories involve people just minding their own business and getting blindsided by something awful. i think that was part of wht i liked about Wrong Turn and the new THHE, non eo fthe characters were really out looking for trouble, or had that appaling of personalities, so it really sucked for them when they died.

So far out of the stories i have published on my site, only Justice has an asshole getting somethign bad sderved to him, and even then, the good guy suffers too. (pats self on back)

I liked Wrong Turn a lot too. I think I liked it because the characters seemed like regular people (Kinda like you said), but I also like that they pretty acted like normal people and didn't really do anything where you are like... "Well, why the hell would you go in there?" They reacted to their really shitty situation in much the same way I think just about anybody would.
