The Man and the Snake - Ambrose Bierce - World's Greatest Short Stories

The human mind acts peculiarly under great stress especially when overcome with fear.

Harker Brayton is relaxing on a sofa when he notices a snake in the room. The narrator then proceeds to explain that the snake is that of Dr. During, the owner of the house that Harker is visiting.

"The Man and the Snake" is a short story by American Civil War soldier, wit, and writer Ambrose Bierce. It tells of a man who is terrified of snakes. The story was published in The San Francisco Examiner on June 29, 1890.
