Doomsday Asylum (DA)

In a world where others face the apocalypse with just a dog for company, Ning Xin faces it with a whole mental asylum under her care.

She had to look after about five or six patients, representing various mental disorders she knew of: schizophrenia, mania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression…

Determined to return to the real world, Ning Xin bravely faced the challenge, only to find that the situation was completely different from what she had expected.

Instead of being helpless patients, each of the inmates was a powerful figure, and she, the director, was the one who seemed pitiable.

One night, as she was preparing to sleep after locking the door, a tall man pushed open the door and said in a soft voice:

“Director, director, they’re bullying me, stuffing zombies into my blanket.”

Ning Xin looked outside to see bodies scattered all around. …Who was bullying whom, after all?
