An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1962, 2005)

I saw An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in grade school and it stuck with me ever since; my first published short story ("Time, How Elastic") won my high school literary contest and was based on a similar idea. (Curse you, William Gass.) In writing this snippet, I learned that it aired as the last episode of the original Twilight Zone series, won both an Oscar and an Emmy, and is now a remake, supposedly for release later this year. Three stars.
