"The Haunted Sentry Box of Porto Rico" by Lewis Miller is a short story written in the early 20th century. This intriguing tale blends elements of adventure and supernatural mystery, revolving around the enigmatic disappearance of a sentry and a priest in the old fort of San Cristobal in San Juan, Porto Rico. The narrative evolves through the recounting of local lore and personal encounters, highlighting themes of betrayal, revenge, and the weight of guilt. The story unfolds through the perspective of a narrator listening to Juan Cordo, an old storekeeper who narrates the unsettling events surrounding the haunted sentry box. At its core is the tale of Pedro Delvarez, a soldier who, wronged by his enemy Torcas, finds himself accused of a crime he did not commit, leading to a violent confrontation that takes a tragic turn. As Delvarez adopts a new identity and lives in obscurity, he grapples with the past and the lingering issues of vengeance and remorse. The climax reveals the fateful connection between the characters, culminating in a powerful twist that emphasizes the overarching theme of divine justice.
