The Consent Form

A blizzard traps seven strangers inside a derelict prison infirmary in the fictional nation of Valesia. They are bound by a single, cruel past: the “Vitamin Protocol,” an experimental drug trial that killed inmates under the guise of consent. As the group shrinks one by one, each survivor must confront their own buried role in a chain of violence that never truly ended—it only bred quieter, deadlier hatred. Written in the repetitive, absurdist style of Liu Zhenyun, the narrative circles the same bitter question: What good is a signature when the pen is held at your throat?
