Cuba: Dying in the Sand

The article recounts a personal experience from 1968 in Havana, describing how the narrator encountered the closure of a small shop called La Quincalla de Fina during their walk to school.

The owner, Serafín, explained that the store would no longer operate as a private business but would become state property. The narrator notes that the shop never reopened and thus ceased to sell items like pencils, erasers, and notebooks that were previously purchased there.
