Need help finding a short story.
I remember reading a story about a guy who wherever he went he would find a foul smell. The twist was that the guy realizes it's his own smell since he's rotting on the inside.
I thought it was something written by Poe but I can't find it. Any clues?

Doesn't sound like a very good twist. It was obvious the instant you said that the smell follows him everywhere. idk, maybe the actual story pulls it off well somehow.

This could be it, but I'll have to double check
I didnt think about spanish writers so you may be onto something
