The story consists of the north and the south having disputes. A farmer from the south is hesitant to fight against the north for fear of being hung. Despite of his fears he fights anyways and as he waits to be hung a new plot unfolds. The farmer begins to think of ways to escape but once the man steps off the board that supports him the rope breaks and the farmer crashes into the water below. In his struggle to escape he is shot at by soldiers but he manages to make it out alive. In his journey home he suddenly feels immense pain, this was the pain of his neck being broken from the rope. The entire story was in his head and he never actually broke free.
This story was a smooth read and i enjoyed it. I just assumed that he would be back with his family by the end. When it came to the rope breaking i thought he escaped being hit by any bullets and survived. Towards the end however i was hit with the realization that he did die and all else was a false reality.
