All For Nothing

The one thing to disturb me was the hard work and effort to build up Jeronimo and the success on making it into a fully functional town, but then the natives leave, the place gets taken over by guerrillas and then . It's left a ruin with the river contaminated from the chemicals of the ice maker machine.

The family should've just let the guerrillas have the place. At least all their hard work would'nt have been in vain, considering there'd be other people around to enjoy it.

The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

Were any of the villagers killed in the explosion? All I saw was the older, possibly simple man walking away, but there were so many others.

No, just the guerrillas. The natives were all gone by then, lured away by Reverend Spellgood to his missionary village.
