Day 2580
Day 2580 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Orson Ferris 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. 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.
