The Belly Crawlers

By Farah Velez

There are countless scary stories out there about zombies, ghosts, demons, or vampires, but this book is about what’s right beneath our feet, the sewers, and what dwells underground of an abandoned glass factory in a town called Jerridale.
They say that the sewers in this town are infested with rats and insects, but those are merely a grub for these creatures. This terrifying story will relay what else is stirring down in the darkness. Would you go to the factory at night in the dark? Would you climb down to the pitch-black sewer system? Would you face these monsters? These creatures, words cannot describe, and people most of the world has forgotten about, yes, people! These are The Belly Crawlers.

Farah Velez is a thirty-six- year-old US Army Veteran and the mother of a handsome boy and a beautiful girl. She went to South University to obtain her bachelor's degree in business. She became a member of the National Honor Society and the International Honor Society by achieving and sustaining a 4.00 GPA. Farah’s two children are her motivation and her inspiration behind most of her accomplishments and this book. This book is one of the imaginative stories Farah created to entertain her children. Farah relates to this story because she had moved multiple times in her life and had come across many spooky-looking abandoned houses but not as spooky as the house in this book. Farah worked on this book for six months, and whenever she had a writer’s block, her children brainstormed with her about many different ways to go with the storyline. Her children love this story, and Farah loves the parts when Jake enters the abandoned house for the first time. She loves the details and slower pace of the scene to give it an eerie feeling.

With her heart pounding and her face covered in sweat, Fern woke up from a horrible nightmare. She looked around to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming anymore. She had a confused look on her face, wondering what her dream meant and why it felt so real. It was the kind of dream she wished was real but was relieved that it wasn’t at the same time. She sat on her bed with a depressed look on her face. A few minutes later, after calming herself down, Fern took a shower, got dressed for school, and went downstairs to the kitchen where her mother was cooking a quick breakfast. She hoped that she would have a quick and quiet breakfast because she didn’t feel like talking with anyone at the moment.

Fern lived in a single-family house with her mother. It
