Open Water

The writing feels almost like a poem, which really immerses the reader in the emotional landscape. I'm curious what inspired this stylistic choice and how it shaped the storytelling.

The setting seems so vital and alive, almost like a character itself. I wonder if the city was based on a specific place or if it’s a composite meant to evoke a universal vibe.

The characters’ journeys felt both personal and universal. Did certain moments or reflections stand out as particularly meaningful or relatable?
