Day 2509
Day 2509 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Whatever Fern Gorse and Opal Ferris were circling, they have landed on it. Edie Gorse is expecting a baby with Ewan Callahan. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
