Rest Day Read: January 4, 2010

Fam-Fit
Rest Day Read (SR-2)
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce
"Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him."
Oh man! Do you remember reading this story for the first time? Cheering Peyton Fahrquahar during his miraculous escape from the Union soldiers at the Owl Creek Bridge. Pushing him forward, step by step, until the moment he reaches out for the embrace of his wife, then... Ambrose Bierce, you tricky S.O.B.!
