Day 1594
Day 1594 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ewan Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Battle of the Noticeboard takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
