A man tries to dispose of a body, only to discover that some sins refuse to stay buried. A modern reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart.
Perreca traces Bury Me to a childhood school trip to see a community-theatre production of The Tell-Tale Heart in Michigan. That experience helped draw him toward storytelling; this short revisits Poe’s themes of guilt and conscience in a desert setting.
