Interesting story from Uruguay

One of Uruguay's best writers. When I first read this story I was in Elementary School and it was traumatizing. Now that I am in College it still is. 
I admire how Quiroga is able to make you feel so horrified in just a couple of paragraphs reeling on the fear of the unknown.
