An Occurrence at Owl Creek

Introduction

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge comprises of Bierce's fiction that is mainly based on the personal experiences related in the Civil War, which repeatedly persuaded the writer of the cruel uncertainty of life. However, there are many other autobiographical landings that the author wrote before the time he disappeared somewhere in Mexico in the month of December in the year 1913, and after that he was never heard from anyone (Bierce, 1993, pp: 337).

However, the deaf boy makes his route towards his home in a fashion, solely to see his home in blazes. The deaf boy saw that his mother's cranium was split into two by a missile.
