- Read the excerpt from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" Part 1. These movements left the condemned man and the sergeant standing on the two ends of the same plank, which spanned three of the cross ties of the bridge.The end upon which the civilian stood almost, but not quite, reached a fourth.

At a signal from the former the latter would step aside, the plank would tilt and the condemned man go down between two ties. The arrangement commended itself to his judgement as simple and effective. His face had not been covered nor his eyes bandaged.
