Author: Ambrose Bierce
Date: 1888-03-11
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Language: English
Note: Not supernatural, but sometimes included among Bierce's fantastic stories because of its nightmarish exploration of subjective time. First published in the San Francisco Examiner, March 11, 1888. Significantly revised when collected.
Synopsis: A Union scout takes aim at a Confederate soldier, but just at that moment a shell explodes; he finds himself pinned helplessly beneath debris with his own gun pointed at him.

is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but
