The Gate House

The story unfolds gradually, keeping me on edge but also giving space for character development. I'm curious if this was a conscious choice or evolved during writing.

His actions made me question what I’d do in the same situation, but also made me uneasy about how far he's willing to go. Was that intentional?

The description made it feel like a character in its own right. I'm wondering if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.
