Day 2556
Day 2556 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bea Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Kip Doyle is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. 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.
