"An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge"

I enjoyed to short story "An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge." The story has an interesting feel to it, as it has three short sections. The timeline of the story skips around, and keeps the reader on edge as to what is actually happening. There is a major twist in the story at the end, when we find out that the main character, Peyton, has not escaped, but rather has seen his life flash before his eyes.
The way in which the story was written was very enticing. For instance finding out that Peyton's watch is the noise which he is hearing slow down as he waits on the bridge, and also finding out that the escape was actually just in his mind as he was hung to his death.
