Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce.
You can find the full story online if you google the title. I just read it again, for the first time since high school! I never would have remembered the title!

Cool, thanks! Yeah, I found it and read it again, too!
I really didn't think it would be this quick, but I'm stoked! Thanks, again!!!
There was an excellent episode of the original "Twilight Zone" that was made from this story.
I remember the Twilight Zone episode-we had it on VHS for some odd reason. It was such a bummer!
Ok, it's about this guy that is about to get hung...there's a shot (I think), the rope breaks, he takes off running through some jungle. There's this whole chase...at the end he is stuck between everybody pointing the gun and a waterfall. He turns to the waterfall. (I think) He closes his eyes, hears a shot and as he feels a pain in the back of his neck is when he is actually hung.
A kinda hallucination in that split second that he was dying. It may have been a short story. I read it in high school in 1990.
Sorry, that's as detailed as I can remember...or not remember...help...!
