How to dig a grave

Before you get digging, consider the weather.

Set up a tent to block the sun or the rain.

Then define the area you want to dig.

Usually the rectangle is 90 inches long by 36 inches wide.

Remove the top layer of soil with a flat-edged shovel and move it off to the side.

Step on the edge of the shovel and plunge it as deep as possible into the earth.

Rocket back, lift, turn, drop.

Don't be afraid to put your whole body into the motion.

You'll be stronger than a Harvard Rower and no time.

It's probable that you will eventually run into roots and hard dirt.

Emmovable objects that will prevent you from digging any deeper.

In a proper burial site, there'll be heavy equipment there to help you remove and excavate the site.

But this is no ordinary cemetery.

Out here in the woods amongst the decaying leaves and crawling insects,

a young girl's body is lowered into the ground and not nearly deep enough.

There is no headstone.

The weeping mourners are nowhere to be seen.

For they do not know where their loved one is buried.

They only know that she has vanished.

Welcome to sword and scale nightmares, true crime for bedtime.

When nightmare begins now.
