Lockdown

The setting feels so intense and believable—I'm curious whether real places or stories influenced this depiction or if it was entirely imagined.

The constant suspicion adds tension but also makes it tricky to connect to certain characters. Was that intentional to reflect the paranoia of the setting?

The horror elements are intense, but the dystopian themes also made me think about real-world issues. Did the author aim to blend both for a specific reason?
