He is marched to the bridge, a noose placed around his neck, and he stands on a plank extended from the bridge, over the creek bed. The executioner steps off the other end of the plank allowing our soldier to fall. Somehow the rope fails and he falls to the creek bed. He eludes the enemy soldiers trying to recapture him and firing their guns at him. He eventually makes it to the home of his true love. She sees him and comes to him. Just as they reach each others arms.... the noose snaps the man's neck. It was all a dream occuring from the moment the executioner stepped off the plank to the moment the soldier came to the end of his rope.



Or.....


It coulda happened the way you said.

An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge, and I was thinking the same thing.
