Day 2594
Day 2594 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Cole Whitlow and Truman Beaumont have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
