Day 2248
Day 2248 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Whatever Toby Tanner and Truman Beaumont were circling, they have landed on it. Bev Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
