An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

This story was a little confusing to follow but I believe I figured it out after re-reading it. Peyton Farquhar was being hung and drowned. He some how survived the hanging and did not drown. He also dodged the bullets of the men shooting at him. I was really thought it was a good ending when he made it back to his family but right when he does, he is killed by the men after him. It was a very suprising and quick ending.
