for Mayor Walter Crick in The Breeders Beneath
Suggested by framefreak

After a series of earthquakes strike the remote town of Cold Hollow, Oregon, a massive sinkhole opens in the surrounding forest—unleashing something ancient and monstrous. Women begin suffering terrifying blackouts, vivid dreams, and unexplained pregnancies. Local authorities, scientists, and spiritual leaders are drawn into a horrifying mystery that dates back generations. Beneath the town lies a bio-organic hive—home to grotesque parasitic beings known as the Breeders, whose only purpose is to reproduce through human hosts. As the town descends into madness, biologist Dr. Lana Reeve discovers she may be the only one capable of ending the horror—because she herself is not fully human. But the Breeders are evolving, and the pact that once contained them has been shattered. The true terror isn't what lies below… it's what may already be growing inside.
