On a summer day in the early-twenty-first
century a landing craft deposits three women and four men on
a deserted island in Michigan’s Lake Superior.
Two of the seven have been issued
rifles. Each of them
is provided with a steel locker containing enough rations for
just half the time they will be here, seven continuous months
ending March 1. The rest of their food will be berries,
mice, foxes, squirrels--whatever they can catch and digest.
