He is standing on a plank on the outside of the span of the bridge over the waters of Owl Creek, his arms tied behind his back and his legs tied together as the noose is placed around his neck. He is bracing for the moment when he will feel the plank drop from below his feet, he thinking among other things at that moment about his happy wife and children at home.
