Summary
Set during the time of the American Civil War, this story is about a man named Peyton Farquhar, a Confederate sympathizer who attempted to demolish the Owl Creek Bridge, but was caught and condemned to die by hanging. But all is not what it seems to be in this tale that has an irregular time sequence and a twist ending.

wasn't a bad short story but not my favorite.

It was hard for me to connect to this one and be completely interested. I got turned off by "he un-closed his eyes" ... I understand trying to spice up the writing and vocabulary, but this was just weird to me. Perhaps if I read the book instead of listening I would have a different opinion, but the audio book was uncaptivating.

Short, well written, classic short story format. Surprise ending. Edgar Allen Poe would approve.

Clever short story. Hard to evaluate though.
