You Feel It Just Below the Ribs

The mix of historical fiction and surreal elements made the world feel both familiar and unsettling. I wonder what motivated that creative choice.

The portrayal of suffering was intense and real, making me think about how stories can evoke such raw feelings. Was that intentional to deepen the impact?

The shifts in time added layers of meaning but also complexity. I'm curious whether this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
