Day 1191
Day 1191 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The fog has lifted. The town looks slightly surprised to still be here. 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 Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
