Well, I would show but writing isn't exactly a visual medium, so all I can really do is tell. lol But in all seriousness, I understand what you're saying and it is a valid criticism. In my defense, this creepypasta was, in part, meant as a send-up to the classic slasher movies of the 80s. Those films rarely gave much characterization to their victims other than broad stereotypes. For most of my work, I try to live up to a higher standard of quality at least from a storytelling standpoint, with characters that are relatable to the reader. However, this particular piece was more about Fred's hidden revenge motive being the twist at the end, and of course the aforementioned homage. Though, I will admit that perhaps I'm guilty of a bit of bad or lazy writing which is not excusable on that premise alone. I just wanted to point out what I had in mind when I wrote this story.
