Nightmare Walk With Me: A Horror Anthology by TheFilmArchivist

Step carefully, dear reader, for the path before you is not one of comfort or safety. This is a journey into the unknown-a walk through the shadowed recesses of the mind, where nightmares dwell and reality contorts. There are no maps for this terrain, no guides to see you through. What you will find here are whispers of dread, echoes of the uncanny, and stories that crawl beneath the skin and linger in the dark corners of your soul. I invite you now to take this walk with me. But beware: once you step onto this path, there is no turning back. Your fears will take shape, your mind itself may betray you, and your footing-if you lose it-could lead you to places no light has ever touched. This is not just a collection of tales. This is your journey. This is your invitation to take the walk with me. If at any point you feel unyielding terror, a sense of daunting dread, or simply feel afraid, just remember... we warned you.

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.
