Answer and explanation:
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by Ambrose Bierce that is set during the Civil War in the United States. Peyton Farquhar is being hanged for trying to prevent enemy soldiers from crossing a bridge by trying to burn the bridge down.
Upon being pushed from the bridge to be hanged, Farquhar has a transcendental experience. Even though his neck breaks and he dies an almost instant death, Farquhar has a dream - or hallucination- in which the noose breaks. He escapes and swims back to his home, his family. However, even in this dream there is some reality to be found. For instance, Farquhar certainly felt a momentary excruciating pain in real life that permeated his dream:
<em>His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth.
</em>
<em />
In real life, Farquhar probably had an instinctive reaction of trying to reach for the noose, to loosen it. But he couldn't do it, since his hands were tied. That sensation also invaded his dream:
<em>His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish! But his disobedient hands gave no heed to the command.
</em>
<em />
Still, in the dream, this situation is transformed. He frees his hands and swims back home. When he is about to hug his wife, he feels "a stunning blow upon the back of the neck". That's when his neck breaks. Both, the dream and his life, are now over.
“Let’s go to my house.”
“Your house?”
“Yeah. You can meet my mom.”
“What about your dad?”
“Oh, he has to work late tonight. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, it’s fine! I’m sure I’ll meet him another time. Oh, don’t do your nervous thing! There will be plenty of opportunities for me to meet him later.”
“My ‘nervous thing’?”
“You know. Where you pinch your eyebrows together tilt your head over your shoulder.”
“Well, you’re a perceptive one...”
“Come on, don’t look at me like that! I notice things about a lot of different people.”
“Alright, Detective Beautiful, we should probably start heading to my house now. It’s not far, just about a ten-minute walk.”
“Hey, is that your dad in that picture on the mantle? The one in the navy frame?”
“Yeah, from when he was on a business trip in Seattle. You’re from there, right?”
“Uh, yeah, but the thing is...”
“What is it? Are you alright?”
“Uh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine, but the thing is...the thing is that I have...have the same picture, the same frame...at my house. On my mantle. Actually, I...I took the picture.”
