Jackel Island: Campfires Every Night

Campfires Every Night

Campfires after dinner each night

After dinner, there's CAMPFIRES behind the lodge every night. I really got to know everyone better last night. They told me about the supply ship that comes every other Friday. We can make requests when we run out of stuff like a specific shampoo brand, our favorite toothpaste, a requested DVD, socks when ours are worn, books, etc. Everyone gets 20 minutes a day computer time. Darcy told me everyone washes their own clothes and it's hard to get an available washing machine. Everyone said what they missed back in the States... Brian misses Chicago pizza, Jeremy misses California women, Grady misses ALL women, Darcy misses her bed, Dr. Jim misses his wife... Adrian misses Alaska but prefers life here on the island. They all miss their sport teams, snow, local bands, luxurious bathrooms, drug stores, their favorite restaurants, Christmas, and no taxes.

They don't like the people on the other side of the island -- the research team, especially Dr. Evan Bronte, some big shot. I wonder what's up with that.

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.
