An Inhabitant Of Carcosa by Ambrose Bierce
A lyrical, uncanny first-person narrative in which a man who claims to be from the ancient, decayed city of Carcosa wanders the world in a spectral, dislocated state. He recalls memory-fogged scenes of ruined halls, strange stars, and a vanished people, and as he moves through towns where others react to him with bewilderment or fear, the story closes on the chilling implication that he himself exists outside normal time or is already dead, blending elegiac atmosphere with subtle supernatural horror.
