Post-Apocalyptic City
This clip is a simple but chilling one. A man walks past the town hall supermarket in a small town. It sounds normal, but he is dressed in full protective gear with an oxygen canister on his back. The film is grainy and glitchy. Something bad has clearly happened here, and something even worse is bound to occur.
