An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce

First published in 1890, Ambrose Bierce’s haunting masterpiece “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” is widely regarded as one of the finest short stories in American literature. Set during the Civil War, it tells the story of a man facing execution—his final moments unfolding with eerie clarity, unexpected beauty, and a devastating twist. Blurring the line between reality and illusion, Bierce crafts a psychological tale of time, memory, and mortality that continues to captivate readers more than a century later.
