Day 2533
Day 2533 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris is not brilliant at practising stories worth telling, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Gil Ferris was born to Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan. Perry Gorse was born to Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
