The Hike

The isolated landscape adds so much tension to the story. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The shifting alliances kept me guessing, but also made me question whether any of the characters were truly trustworthy. Was anyone else as uneasy about some of their choices?

The narrative flow felt very deliberate, with flashbacks and present-day events intertwining. I wonder if this was planned to reflect the psychological unraveling of the characters.
