LiteratureThe Transition of Juan Romero
The Transition of Juan Romero describes an unexplained death after a mine opens an apparently bottomless cavity. A narrator remembers following Romero into the depths, although other witnesses place both men in their bunks throughout the night. The vanished opening, a missing ring and the narrator’s withheld final vision prevent a single, fully demonstrable explanation.
