"The Occurrence on Owl Creek Bridge" was a very unexpectedly sad story. Half of the story is a lie to the main character which makes it sad. The main character thinks he's going to escape from his death when it all turns out to be a lie and he ends up hanging from the bridge. He experiences all of the pain but he never really had any injuries. He didn't really deserve what happened to him.
Its weird to me how vivid his escape is. He hears voices, gets shot at, and runs through the woods all like he would in reality. Just as he thinks hes home free nothing is around him he just dies. It really caught me off guard that the story would end that fast. All of that for trespassing.
