The man is hanged and the rope breaks. He falls into the water and the guards shoot at him but he gets away. He manages to get out of the water and some other things happen. Eventually we find out that the rope never broke and he was killed by hanging. I read this story about 15 years ago in school and can't remember the name.
What is the name of the story where a man is hanged and has a dream that he escapes before he dies?
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce.

Above is a link to an e-text. You may be able to find a better version for printing. Also, I don't guarantee the accuracy or style of this... it is on a pretty reliable server, though.
