An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

This was a very surprising piece. I really began to feel for Farquhar. He was committed to a cause and was about to be hung as a result. In his final moments, all he really wanted to do was to see his wife and children, but he knew there was no real way out. When he was thrown over the edge to his death though, something miraculous happened. The noose around his neck snapped and he was able to get away. He escapes and makes it all the way back to his wife, but when he goes to embrace her he is engulfed by a blinding light and that is it.....He is dead and his escape and reunion was all a dream.
