In the vein of authors Kim Newman and H.P Lovecraft, this is a story that brings together genres and themes, into brand new territories.
Set in an alternate past of Gangsters and Gumshoes, caught in an unknowable, unstoppable game of cat and mouse, hurtling toward an end-game no-one could have predicted.
Mixing elements of mystery, thriller, horror and weird fiction, we are thrown into a story which soons begins to twist into contorted, skewed directions, uncontrollably hurtling towards a conclusion that will change everyone involved.
Originally written as part of the 10 SHORT OF 31 short story collection, released in October 2016, where every story was based upon a title provided by friends, peers and family - where every story was supposed to be written in a single day, a single sitting - with minimum planning or preparation. Based on the title alone.
This story was dedicated to my friend Jim Partridge who gave me the title.

What They Didn't Bury ✔️
PREVIOUSLY 'THE PRICE OF SILENCE' Title changed 06/09/2026 Completed ✔️ ~ "You know it's against the law to lie to a police officer, right, Miss Mills?" Silence hung like a thick smoke as Lane's tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth. Officer Casey's tone hadn't changed, but something in his gaze had. Something that told Lane there was no right answer to his question. That he didn't even expect one. "I don't know what you want me to say, I'm sorry." Lane's voice was close to a whisper. They passed a gas station she didn't recognize. The inside was dark, like it had been closed for a long time. Lane's chest tightened. Something felt very wrong. "Where are we going?" She asked finally, voice tighter than she meant it to be. That earned her a sharp and fleeting glance, the corner of his mouth turning up like he was in on a joke she wasn't. "Don't worry. I'll get you where you need to go." Lane didn't answer. Because she no longer believed it. ~ All Lane is trying to do is survive in a world that's already failed her. After a childhood spent bouncing between homes, a steady job, a place to lay her head, and a beater to take her from Point A to Point B were the small things she'd fought for. Lane was trying -- she really was. Her life was finally hers, and she intended to keep it that way. But of course, as the saying goes, "Men plan, God laughs." All it took was a glance. Lane froze. And then she ran. It wasn't supposed to be her problem. But the moment those eyes caught hers, she was thrust into a world she'd always tried to avoid. The life that she fought so hard for was about to be turned on its head. And she'll have to do more than stay quiet to make it out alive.Complete
