Bierce uses the method to draw out a single moment in the life of the person to a long drawn introspection on life.

Explanation:

The Incident at Owl Creek Bridge by Bierce is one of the great short stories of all time.

It uses the last instant of a life of a solider who is sentenced to death for his introspection on life and his hope of escaping the ordeal.

This is drawn out in suspense by the methodical writing style of the writer who draws out the moment into a story that we start believing that he has actually escaped.

By the time the reality hits us the, he is already dead.
