Nothing but the Rain

The relentless rain feels almost alive, shaping the characters' fears and hopes. I'm curious whether this imagery came from a specific environmental concern or creative choice.

The story's tension picks up again later, but I felt the middle sections dragged a bit. Was this a deliberate decision to reflect the characters' despair?

The horror elements are intense but grounded in real human emotion. I'm wondering if the focus on character psychology was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
