Title: One of the Missing Title Record # 1002936
Author: Ambrose Bierce
Date: 1888-03-11
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Language: English
Note: Not supernatural, but sometimes included among Bierce's fantastic stories because of its nightmarish exploration of subjective time. First published in the San Francisco Examiner, March 11, 1888. Significantly revised when collected.
Synopsis: A Union scout takes aim at a Confederate soldier, but just at that moment a shell explodes; he finds himself pinned helplessly beneath debris with his own gun pointed at him.

2/6?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).
