Year One

The mix of a post-apocalyptic setting with supernatural aspects is intriguing—what inspired this combination, and how did it influence the world-building?

While I appreciated the focus on relationships, I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to emphasize hope amidst chaos or if it slowed the story too much.

Given the real-world relevance, I’m curious whether this was inspired by current events or purely fiction, and how it shaped the story’s themes.
