Rust-Colored Rain

The oppressive atmosphere really immerses the reader in this post-apocalyptic world. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real places or purely imagined.

The line between right and wrong felt blurred, especially under extreme circumstances. How did the author decide to portray their struggles with morality?

The blending of genres made the story feel unsettling and intense. Was this a conscious choice to heighten the emotional stakes or to keep readers on edge?
