As in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", Ambrose Bierce speculates on a person's final thoughts at the moment of death. An instant becomes a 30-minute short story. Bierce was an infantry officer in the Civil War and witnessed the deaths of many and no doubt contemplated his own; thus the fatalistic basis of much of his writing.

Ambrose Bierce, a veteran of the Civil War and writer of note, had a fascination with death and PTSD as a result of his war experience.

He was good at his job, and his job was soldiering.

A moving story about an observer sent to enemy lines in the Civil War, who moves too far forward and find himself caught in the vise of war. As in so many of his classic tales of the destructive nature of war, in "One of the Missing" Bierce paints an unflinching portrait of the damages solidiering can inflict upon a man - both physically and emotionally.
