Creeping along a line of terror stretched between the supernatural and individual psychology, noted 19th-century journalist Ambrose Bierce explores the terror of a brave Union lieutenant. Anthony Donovan begins his narration of the short story, featuring a picket guard and a corpse that seems to inch ever closer, with a somber tone. But as the lieutenant’s panic increases, he infuses the storytelling with a tinge of hysteria, as the tale of fears created in the dim moonlit times of middle night builds to a climactic chill and haunting revelations of morning.
