Day 1008
Day 1008 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is a delighted new parent. Kip Doyle is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Orchard Gate takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
