Day 2596
Day 2596 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris and Dot Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. sketching the shoreline has stopped being something Fern Gorse is trying, and become something they do. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Pond reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
