Earl

I started to send an email to Earl. Earl is head of the Equestrian Department, which sounds bigger than it is. Earl is a one-man operation. They hired me to help him train the horses on the island. Earl's a 52-year-old man from Colorado. What do I say to him? I want to know about the horses, what they're like, and at what stage of training they're at. I want to know what the paddock is like, what life on the island is like. But all I wrote was "I understand I'll be working for you..." and I stared at the email for 20 minutes. I never sent it.

JACKEL ISLAND

Why would 21 closely bonded people on a small island turn against each other? That’s what happens when a pharmaceutical company sends employees to an uninhabited island near India to work on a biological research project. Life is like a paradise until all comes crashing down when the team discovers that they’ve been cut off from the outside world, and they begin to suspect that they’ve become bio-chemical human test subjects. Uncertain whom to trust, they suspect their pharmaceutical company, or possibly the military, and even the government, until they finally turn on one another, then on themselves.
