I'm going crazy. what is the short story I am thinking of? I read it like five years ago and cannot remember the author's name. It was a scanned PDF and I don't recall the source.

A man leaves his hotel at night and walks around a town or something by himself. he eventually gets accosted by a knife-wielding? thief? Cant really remember. I feel like it was originally written in Spanish, and I remember the author described the air at night as "feminine."

Any guesses to what I'm thinking of?

I've never read anything by him, but the knife-wielding gaucho bit makes me think it's something by Borges.

my instinct is that the narrator was male. I also think that the climax was basically that the thief didnt do anything, as in let the narrator go? It's been so long I couldnt be sure
