A CITY THAT VANISHED FROM THE MAPS 25 YEARS AGO IS NOW A GHOST TOWN WITH MYSTERIOUS SURVIVORS

By Mark Jacob

In Vain

More than 30 years have gone by but it only feels like yesterday to the survivors of the flood. Even though there were no casualties and not a single person had lost their life but the impact of the flood had left the victims traumatized, something they haven’t recovered from till date. How could they? They had lost everything, their homes, cars, jobs, businesses that too overnight. It was something they hadn’t imagined even in their worst nightmare but unfortunately, it was their reality that they had lived. The psychological toll it took on them might remain forever, particularly in the older inhabitants ho have spent a lifetime in Villa Epecuen who now struggles to adapt with their new life and their new world.
