A lone car speeds down the road outside the Tinley grounds cemetery turnpike path. It parks at the end of the path with a flurry of dust following behind. The car is an old 20′s cadillac modified with armor on it’s side and back. Inside sits 4 people. The Driver is none other than Al Capone and the 3 others are or were his henchmen. One of the henchmen has his hat pulled over his face, as if he was resting. As Al pulls the keys from the ignition, he eyes the guy in the back and motions for him. The henchmen in the back then pulls the other henchmen over, and the hat falls off his face, a cold white face with rolled back eyes glowed under the Cadillac’s rear passenger light. His feet were cemented into a bucket.

The 2 henchmen grabbed ahold of the body as Al went to the back of the Cadillac to grab a rope he fixed around the back rack. 

As the three headed down the dark turnpike, not a word was said. The glow of Al’s Cigar was the only thing that could be seen. 

They neared the Tinley Grounds cemetery and followed a path around it with the body. Not too far off, the cemetery slumped into a pond-like area. They led the body towards this area, Throwing him down near the water. The surface was a thick mossy green and you could barely see anything in it. Al bent down and fixed a rope around his waist and said, 

“Watch this, this only happens here”,

Then he threw the body into the water. As it sank, the algae seemed to breath back across the surface. Though it looked like a pond, it was apparently deep. The rope was at least a street’s length and seemed to still be unraveling. Al started laughing and it stopped at nearly the end of the rope. He then pulled the rope back out of the swamp and to the amazement of his henchmen, nothing was attached to it. 

“You see men, some places you go in and you don’t come out”, he said and let out a deep laugh. 

In the years following Capone would return to Tinley grounds with much of his business’s income in metal briefcases, cementing it and dropping it into the pond. Some of his henchmen believed it was possibly paranoia fixed with his Syphilis symptoms, but others believed he was stockpiling his goods and bodies in what he later wrote about in prison as ‘another dimension no one could touch’ and multiple statements about ‘a place one could go but not come out of’ or ‘A Hole In The Wall’ he would call it. Most took no credence from these statements and never investigated Tinley Grounds. Those who did never found the corpses or metal briefcases. After Capone’s passing, it was rumored he was trying to get back to that dimension by leaving this one to return to the splendors of his successes and to fully eradicate the long unfound evidence that would plague his life and well-being.
